files don't save to a network drive, need proper universal path to read file from a network drive

I’m trying to save/load files from paths generated by a PC to a location on a windows server.

I’m having trouble retrieving the information to convert to the correct path for OS X in C++ using X Code.

In OS X I mount a volume on a windows server called ‘game’

It shows up on my desktop with the same name

However, in /volumes/ there is an alias with the domain and server name in it (in this case it’s HASHINC;HASHNT) Get info on this shows Computer:GAME.

Is there a function or system level call I can use to retrieve this information and stick it in the path?

 

The pc generates the path like this:

//Hashnt/game/testfile

 

My code currently converts the path on the mac to this:

//Volumes/game/testfile

 

I can hard code the path to the following and it will load

//Volumes/HASHINC;HASHNT/testfile

 

I can however save/load fine from mac to mac across the network…
