External file servers

You can define the External File Servers accessing configuration. This configuration lets you process links to the External File Servers in the MFT messages.

The main format:

[CustomServerName1]=[url prefix];[official name];[domain];[username];[password]
[CustomServerName2]=[url prefix];[official name] name];[domain];[username];[password] name]

where

  • CustomServerName—is a custom name (not used in processing). You can select anything but unique; otherwise, only the first one will be applied.

  • URL pattern/prefix – is a pattern for the URL.

Can be specified in one of the following formats:

  • url prefix – just a string. All links that start with this string will be processed. Empty strings are ignored. – url pattern as a regular expression – is a PERL-compatible regular expression.

The links matched with this pattern are processed. Incorrect patterns will be ignored.
Should be wrapped with slashes: /regexp/

So the following configs are:

  • Server1=http://sharepoint.com/all/;“Sharepoint”

  • Server2=/http:\/\/sharepoint\.com\/all\/.+/;“Sharepoint”

  • Official Name – is the name of the External Server used in the information messages/dialogs in the MFT clients.
    The parameter value can be wrapped with double quotas (“) for multi-word names.

Domain, username, and password are optional fields that can be added if the server requires authentication.

For example:

If more than one configuration can match a single link, then the first one will be applied according to their order in this configuration file.
