Getting around a UNC path error

I'm trying to run a batch file off of a Server in an R script.

shell(shQuote(paste("\\\\SERVER\\Folder1\\Folder2\\File.bat", var1, var2), "cmd"))

However, "I get a UNC paths are not supported" error. I believe there is something about how I need to handle the quotes. If I want to run the batch file off of the cmd window, I have to put quotes around the file path.

This solved the problem:

shell(paste(shQuote("\\\\Server\\d$\\SERVER\\Folder1\\Folder2\\file.bat"), var1, var2), "cmd")
