Create a JSON configuration file for your Watch Folder.
The Watch Folder JSON file describes the source, target, and authentication to the remote server, and can also
specify transfer session settings, file handling and post-processing, filters, and growing file handling.
A basic pull Watch Folder configuration has the following syntax:
{
"source": {
"path": "source_directory",
"location": {
"type": "REMOTE",
"host": "ip_address",
"port": port,
"authentication": {
"type": "authentication_mode",
"user": "username",
"pass": "password"
}
}
},
"target": {
"path": "target_directory"
},
"watchd": {
"scan_period": "scan_period",
"identifier": "daemon"
}
}
For a full configuration reference, see Watch Folder JSON Configuration File Reference on page 175.
