import-module located on network share

I have a module located on a network share the I wish to load during remote session to other servers on my network.

Here my commands:

enter-pssession remoteserver
import-module \\shareserver\sharefolder\SPModule.misc

Here is the error:

Import-Module : The specified module 'SPModule.misc' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (SPModule.misc:String) [Import-Module], FileNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_ModuleNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand

Are modules not able to load from network shares or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
