Things to know if you are using the file protocol

This protocol uses your computer file system, including network shared drives, to transfer information. There are some basic considerations in regards to formatting the Location that need to be taken into account.

The formatting of the Location can be done in one of two ways:

• file://<network share>/<path>/

• file:///<drive>/<path>/

Examples:

• file://tsclient/C/networktest/

• file:///C:/localtest/

  Note: The system receives information about what protocol is being used from the Protocol dropdown list.

In the event that the file:// prefix is not entered, the software will add the prefix to the front, based on the information supplied by the Protocol dropdown list.
