can we use below code to Import file from internal UNC path (e.g. \\server\share\folder\data.json) ?

Scheduled Job :

  var midServer = "YOUR_MID_SERVER_NAME"; // name as shown in MID Server
  var filePath = "\\\\server\\share\\folder\\data.json"; 
  var dataSourceSysId = "YOUR_DATASOURCE_SYSID"; // sys_id of your Data Source

    var ecc = new GlideRecord('ecc_queue');
    ecc.initialize();
    ecc.agent = midServer;
    ecc.topic = 'FilePull';
    ecc.name = filePath;
    ecc.source = dataSourceSysId; // tag source for traceability
    ecc.queue = 'output';
    ecc.insert();

    gs.info("FilePull request sent to MID Server for file: " + filePath);
