title: load data local infile ERROR 2 file not found
body: <p>I've been ramming my face against this sql error for about 45 minutes, and I have a feeling it's going to be something silly.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to load a .txt file into my database, which is on a server elsewhere. I'm using putty on windows 7.</p>
  
  <p>The sql call I am using is the following:
  <code>LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "C:/Users/Sam/Desktop/students_data.txt" INTO TABLE students;</code></p>
  
  <p>The response I get is <code>ERROR 2 (HYOOO): File 'C:/Users/Sam/Desktop/students_data.txt' not found (Errcode:2)</code></p>
  
  <p>If anyone could shed some light on this that'd be extravagant. I already tried switching the <code>/</code> to <code>\</code> and using single quotes, etc., but nothing seems to work. The file path is copied by shift+clicking the actual file and pasting it.</p>
