Adding a Remote Server

Adding remote servers in Files.com is easy. As a Site Administrator, type Remote Servers in the search bar at the top of every page, then click on the matching result. Click on the Add New Remote Server button to select the type of server you want to add. Note that only Site Administrators can add or configure remote servers at this time.

Depending on the type of server you are adding, you may need to have different details on hand.

When you select the remote server type, the form will adapt to prompt you for the information needed specifically for that type. Any optional settings for your selected type will also appear on the form.

Some types of Remote Server allow you to configure a Max connections setting which will restrict the number of concurrent parallel connections made by Files.com to that server.

Decrease this value if the remote server is unable to support multiple concurrent connections to it.

For example, some FTP servers will allow only 2 concurrent connections per user account so any value above 2 in this setting will cause poor throughput and cause warning messages on the remote server.
