UNC path question

[Spev]

Wanted some clarification on this term. Someone I know posted this pic today:

 

 

I simply mentioned that I could tell it was from a classroom environment cause in the (I said UNC path) you could see CSC223, looked like a college class. Anyways he then decided to go on a rant & tell me that I had no idea what I was talking about & that I shouldn't use terms I that I didn't know what they meant, he was refereeing to UNC path (like that's a "big" term anyways,  <_< ).

 

Anyways it was just kind of annoying. I have always referred to paths like that as a UNC path, like if you wanted to type in an exact path to lets say a folder on your computer in file explorer in Windows 10 for example, it's a UNC path, am I right? Also, isn't referring to the line "C:\CSC223\Hacking_SW\Netcat\nc111nt>nc a unc path? I did just notice the ">nc" which you wouldn't use in a UNC path I guess. Anyways just wanted some clarification. So that is not a UNC path or is it? If not what is it called? Please don't comment unless you are sure of your answer. Thanks.

I always just called it an absolute path

UNC is used for networked directories,

 

\\remotecomputer\someshare\

 

Absolute is use for file systems. 

(RemoteComputer)

c:\share\someshare

 

Hope that helps.
