title: Client/Server -- How to return a path string and have the client handle it properly?
body: <p>My Server (WebService) is written in .NET on Windows Server 2008 + IIS Hosted.
  My Client can be any language on any machine type.</p>
  
  <p>The problem: How do I return a "generic" filepath for the client to scan for?</p>
  
  <p>I.E. I want to return (Folder)(Seperator)(FolderN)(Seperator)(Filename). It can be any number of folders deep and is a relative path from where the client installed the application.</p>
  
  <p>Is it just up to the client to translate it if I return, for example, "MyFiles\SpecialFiles\SpecialFile1.txt" ? Or is it expected of me to pass back some special string character in place of the "\" that languages can know to translate into (Seperator)?</p>
