title: _stat fails on networked directory
body: <p>My program copies files from my Windows laptop to my Windows desktop over the LAN. I use drag&amp;drop from Explorer to provide the source and destination. </p>
  
  <p>The source is: <code>C:\Paul</code></p>
  
  <p>The destination is: <code>\\SERVER\Paul</code></p>
  
  <p>However, <code>_stat(dst,&amp;dst_statbuf)</code> fails with <code>-1</code> and <code>errno</code> set to <code>ENOENT</code> (file not found).</p>
  
  <p>Note that from Explorer drag &amp; drop the paths provided are correct and exist, and in explorer I can see the destination directory and can open files so permissions seems OK.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea why <code>_stat</code> fails?</p>
