Reference Path On Another Server on Network C#

I am having an issue trying to reference a drive\path on another on the same network as my application.

string LocationPath = "\\servername\F$\FirstDirectory\SecondDirectory\filename.txt";

I would like to use streamreader to capture the contents of this file but can't seem to access it. This is how I reference the directory in file explorer, how can it be done in C#?

Thanks for any input!

You need to escape the backslash:

string LocationPath = "\\\\servername\\F$\\FirstDirectory\\SecondDirectory\\filename.txt";

Or use a verbatim string:

string LocationPath = @"\\servername\F$\FirstDirectory\SecondDirectory\filename.txt";
