Create a local endpoint
To add a new local endpoint:
- Click the Libraries drop-down menu and select Endpoints.
- Click the Add Endpoints drop-down menu and select Local.
- The New Local Endpoint dialog appears.
General
Enter basic endpoint details:
- Name: Provide a unique name for the endpoint.
- Description: Optionally, enter a description to help identify the purpose or scope of this endpoint.
- Path: Enter the local endpoint path. This becomes
the new root directory for this endpoint. When you specify a file path
in a destination or source using this endpoint, this directory will be
assumed to be part of that path by default.Note: You can use forward slashes (
/) or backslashes (\) to define paths for Windows endpoints. Forward slashes are recommended as most other endpoints require them.
Retry
Define retry behavior:
- Retry Count: Number of extra times that a transfer is retried.
- Retry Delay: The time between each retry.
- Use the time unit drop-down menu to select a time measurement for the retry delay.
