The Agentry Server can establish a system connection with the file system of the host computer upon which it has been installed. This allows the Server to read and write files for the purpose of transferring those files between Clients and the file system. It also enables the Agentry Server to execute command-line processes on the host system. Finally, the Agentry Server can use this connection to read and write text files, using the contents as part of the production data for an application.
To implement a file system connection for the Agentry Server the only prerequisite of the host system is that a user account exists that the Agentry Server will run under with the proper permissions to perform the tasks required by the application. That is, this user account must have read/write access to the folders or directories on the file system with which it will be working, and the proper permissions to execute the commands the application has been developed to execute.
Once this user account is created, the Agentry Server should be executed under this account. This includes the proper configuration of the Windows Service or Linux or Unix daemon process to run the Server under this user account.
