Absolute path

[halcy0n3]

I am trying to add a storgae path

siac --addr 192.168.10.109:9980 host folder add /mnt/sia/host-storage 500GB

given that i have used the leading / i dont understand why I am getting the error

Could not add folder: storage folder paths must be absolute

SIAC from cli on windows machine
SIAD is running on a headless linux machine

@halcy0n3 absolute means C:/folder/ or http://address: port/folder. Basically the longest form.

@bryan
Thanks
I have tried as suggested but no joy.

in linux
/
is the root directory and is the absolute path
if i didnt specifiy / then it would be realitive to the current directory whatever that may be.

ie if i had
mnt/sia/host-storage 500GB
then it would be relative
having
/mnt/sia/host-storage 500GB
is an absolute path

update:

just couldnt be done remotely

i used siac on the local machine via putty and iut worked
