Agent Configuration File
The Files.com Agent configuration file is generated by Files.com when the Remote Server for the Agent is created.
You can download the configuration file for an existing Agent Remote Server from within its Remote Server settings.
The configuration file is TOML formatted and should be reviewed by the system administrator prior to use. The configuration file is designed (and intended) to be edited manually for customization by the system administrator.
Prior to use, system administrator should also review the following fields of the TOML file:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
root | This specifies the top-level directory that the Agent has access to. Set this value to a directory location on the system that you wish the Agent to access. Make sure that the path is enclosed in single quotes. For example, '/path/to/agent/folder', 'C:\windows\folder', '/mnt/otherserverfolder', or 'M:\mounted\networkfolder'. |
permission_set | This shows the permissions that your Files.com administrator specified for the Agent. If the system administrator disagrees, they can change this value. Valid options are read_write, read_only, and write_only. |
follow_links | This option specifies whether the Agent is allowed to follow links, allowing access to linked folders that exist outside of the root option. Valid options are true or false. The default is false when this option is omitted from the configuration file. |
Do not edit or change any other fields in the configuration file.
