Network Path: Server address (or server name) and share name format depending on
protocol:
SMB/CIFS: \\<server_ip_address>\<share_name>\<optional_
directory>
NFS: server:/ where server can be the IP address or host name
of the server.
NOTE: Network shares supports both IP address and host name path options. For
example, the host name in figure 47 is HOSTSERVER. The Network Path: name is
then: \\ HOSTSERVER\SharedFolder .

anonymous login. No spaces are allowed between the user and password (Example:
user=username,pass=password).
