Using the Send to File app, why am I getting the following error?: "No such file or directory" error

Hello @Damien Dallimore - I am using your app Send to File and see the following errors in the View log events.

The search it produces:

index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd component=sendmodalert action="sendfile"

Errors:

Alert action script returned error code=2
01-30-2019 17:04:27.261 -0500 ERROR sendmodalert - action=sendfile STDERR -  [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'\\\\WS101\\FTP_From_AIX\\SPLUNK_Demand_Reports/Fax_Test2'

It's an abc123.log file and I can search it in Splunk:

index=* sourcetype=clm_tomcat_system source="/tmp/rock/abc*.log"

I believe, under the Send to File - Trigger Action - Directory - I have the output directory entered incorrectly.

Can you please provide an example of how I should enter the directory path?

This is what I have: \WS101\FTP_From_AIX\SPLUNK_Demand_Reports
It's a Windows server.

End Goal: I have a group wanting to send a fax report, generate in Splunk (a CSV file) to a network share.

Any guidance with be appreciated, thank you.

ARock
