SYMPTOMS
When you attempt specify a Web location (HTTP or FTP protocol) for the Save Broadcast Files in setting in the Broadcast Settings dialog box while you are setting up either a live or recorded Microsoft PowerPoint Online Broadcast, you receive one of the following error messages:

The path or file name for http:// is invalid. Please check that the path and file name are correct.

-or-

'http://servername/sharename' is not a shared directory. A shared directory should be in the form of '\\servername\sharename'.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because PowerPoint can't save online broadcast files to an FTP or HTTP location. The online broadcast files can be saved locally or to a file server on the network.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, specify a shared folder using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC), or \\.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
