Creating and Configuring Server Connectors (to File Repositories)

You can user Server connectors as source or destination and also as destinations of Safe, you can create and configure a server connector (i.e., set up a ‘Share’ on the network).

With this process, you can take files from a specified folder, scan and sanitize them (antivirus), and move them to another folder.

First, connect to the server - for example, Windows File Server - and share the folder/library. You will need to set up a user that has access to the shared folder.

Within the Share folder are in and out folders. You can later build a policy where you’ll take the files from the “in” folder and move them to the “out” folder - once they’ve been scanned (antivirus).

First, you’ll need to set up the “in” folder.
Go to Connectors > Servers > + New Server.
The out is already set up, so now you can set up the in.
The options here can be set as follows:

Name: You can call this in, since this is for the in server setup.
Type: Here you can set the protocol that you want to use. Choose from CIFS, FTP, SFTP, or Local. In this example, we’ll choose CIFS.
Address: This is the IP address you want to use. For example, 10.1.250.90.
User: This should be the user that you set the sharing permissions for previously. Note that the user must have read/write permissions; otherwise the setup will not work.
Password: The password cannot include special Linux characters.
Share: Set as Share.
Domain: This should be the domain of the user, so that the user has permissions. For example, cyber.lab.
Leave the CIFS Version as Auto.
