What must i specify when i want to copy a file from 1 computer to another by using a UNC name?

SHARE NAME

DOMAIN NAME

COMPUTER NAME

WORKGROUP NAME,Do I use the last 3 to acheive the result?
 
Whenever you use a UNC name you must have 2 \\ infront of the name or address you are trying to connect to. Such as computer1 UNC name would be \\computer1

It is the same for most levels I believe (except domain and workgroup). If you are connceting to a folder (lets say the INFO folder on computer1) on a different machine it would look like this.
\\computer1\info

Does this help?
