The first 3 characters of the error is telling you the problem C:\192
it's same as in another thread, use Q[\\192 ... instead of '\\192 ... , so that you preserve the backslashes. OR double each backslash- `\\\\192.168.240.10\\oldserver ... and then you can keep using variables as you normally do. -y On Thu, Apr 3, 2025 at 2:14 AM ToddAndMargo via perl6-users < perl6-users@perl.org> wrote: > And another IO ffunctio that does ot work: > > RotateArchives: renaming directory > \\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup6 to > \\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup4 > > Failed to rename > 'C:\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup6' to > 'C:\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup4': Failed to > rename file: no such file or directory > > rename put a freaking C: on teh unc path. > > Another call to powershell.
