[R] Write File to Shared Drive

[Henrik Bengtsson]

FYI,

you can use the following to troubleshoot what is going on:

library("R.utils");
filename <- "MyFile.csv";
path <- ... # The directory where to store
pathname <- Arguments$getWritablePathname(filename, path=path);

or if you already have the full pathname:

pathname <- Arguments$getWritablePathname(pathname);

You will get an informative error if something is not correct, e.g. it
will check the path and report which part of the path is incorrect, it
will test and report on failed write permissions etc.
