And if you've done that and it isn't working, one likely cause is that
Windows uses backslashes in path names, but Python string literals
treat backslashes specially. Use a raw string literal:

path = r"\\DOCUMENTALE\my_folder\some_file_name"
with open(path, "wb") as f:
    ... write to file ...

If you have other problems, the best thing to do is to post your code
and the exact output it produces, especially if that's a traceback.
Those are incredibly helpful.
