Script failure, when running Robo-FTP as a service, when it attempts to access a network share.

When Robo-FTP runs as a service, it uses the Local System account by default. This account does not have access to the network.

When setting up your Robo-FTP service, configure it to run as a domain user that has access to the necessary network shares.

Note: Microsoft recommends using a UNC path instead of a mapped drive to access network files from a service. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms685143(v=vs.85).aspx
