Connector Description

The filesystem connector allows for connections to any file locations that are accessible from the server L4i is installed on.

The Filesystem connector takes an argument on its mount point to connect to. Only this location and folders/files below will be accessible.

This is configured in file ./config/application-cnn-fs.yaml'. By default, it will start looking for a folder called 'root' within the installation location of L4i. To change this, update the 'mount-point' variable.

plugin-args: mount-point: ./root

This can be changed to a local drive location such as C: or D: or D:\mystuff. Additionally, remote shares can be access using UNC paths. For example: \\servername\share

NOTE: If you are mounting a remote filesystem share, the Filesystem service should be configured to log in with an account that has access/privileges to the remote share.
