1. You create a share on the remote system.  You'll need to do that
regardless of whether you're using a UNC path or a mapped drive letter.
That share will have a name.

2. In Windows a UNC path consists of two backslashes, the machine name
(the IP address will also work), one backslash, and the share name. 
Examples:

\\Dell8100\MyMusic
\\MyNASName\mp3
\\192.168.1.5\flac

You can also specify a folder at any level below the share name in a
UNC path.

\\MachineName\ShareName\music
\\MachineName\ShareName\music\flac
\\MachineName\ShareName\music\mp3\jazz
