  • 1.  Selecting root to configure FTP in Windows Server

    Posted 11-28-2022 02:35
    Hi all,

    I have a question about the configuration of Remote Directory for Windows Server FTP.

    End customer have a Windows Server 2012R2 as FTP Server without any FTP Software running apparently. They have a DAM of other vendor configuring "/" in remote directory. Their IT department created another partition in Windows Server for Imperva DAM, but when we configure Remote Directory with "/" in FTP Action Set of Imperva DAM, how do we know that archiving data will send it to tha new partition?

    Hi Jesus,

    This falls out of scope for Imperva Support as this pertains windows FTP.

    But best way to test is to send one file and see where it shows up.

    FYI: All paths are relative between the client and server, if FTP is configured to G: as base path where all files get stored, that is "root" from a client's perspective. The client just is not aware that its on G: . A file uploaded on root / will be under G:

    As long as the FTP server has switched its base path to (if that is what it would be called in windows FTP) G:, you should be fine.

    Regards.
