Agent Configuration File
The Files.com Agent configuration file is generated by Files.com when the Remote Server for the Agent is created.
You can download the configuration file for an existing Agent Remote Server from within its Remote Server settings.
The configuration file is JSON formatted and should be reviewed by the system administrator prior to use. The configuration file is designed (and intended) to be edited manually for customization by the system administrator prior to installation.
Prior to use, the following field should be updated in the JSON configuration file:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|

follow_links | This option specifies whether the Agent is allowed to follow links, allowing access to linked folders that exist outside of the root option. Valid options are true or false. The default is false when this option is omitted from the configuration file. |
