hi,

could someone confirm whether it’s possible to determine the final destination of the files that are uploaded from the client using the upload manager? I’ve seen some info around the parent URL setting, but wondered whether any could tell me more or provide an example … i understand that the destination can be a root server or relay … … ?

thanks

The files should always end up at the server unless you have (un)intentionally misconfigured your upload settings on the relay.

You will find them in the following path on the BigFix Server: \UploadManagerFiles\BufferDir\sha1<last 2 digits of client id><client id>\

thanks, but I don’t think that i worded the questions correctly.

I want to know if its possible to have a destination other than the BES root server.

Yes, the uploads directory is configured through this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client_BESRelay_UploadManager_BufferDirectory

You could set it to be remote location but you may need to make it a null session share. The BES Root Server runs as the Local System account so it doesn’t have a user context to reach the share.

Note that the files will still transit up to the server and then will be placed on the share.
