Hi,

I am trying to use Boost::Filesystem to copy files to and from a mapped 
network drive e.g. X:\SomeFolder. When trying to do this 
boost::filesystem does not recognise it as a valid folder. It fails 
exists and is_directory. I have also tried using system_complete to see 
if this would generate me a valid path, unfortunately not. I am using 
WindowsXP and i'm wondering if anyone has run into a similar problem? or 
if there is a concrete reason why the mapped drive is not recognised  as 
a valid folder.

thanks

Conrad Mercer
