Yeah, that's an option, I could create a zip file.. really though this system is intended to transfer the objects from a production server to another server used specifically for debugging. So I wanted to leverage the same code base that used UNC file paths to copy the data. Being able to plugin my localhost as a list of available servers to copy the data to would have been nice, but its not a 100% requirement.
