You have to be careful in Linux, which only deals with `/` . Note also if you start to look for a file with a name that starts with `/`, like `/foo`, then the file system will look for a directory `foo' in the root directory. If you ask for the file `foo', that's a relative location and will probably be in the current directory (depending on where you've set your current directory). In addition, if you're aiming to use AWS in Windows, you'll be working with interfaces that use POSIX, which I believe requires the Unix slash convention. Bruce B.
