Manage Files Stored on Server

Only files stored on the server can be distributed to managed machines. Scripts distribute files stored on the server to managed machines using the Write File or Write File in Directory Path commands.

Note: This collection of files is not machine specific. Use Get File to access machine-specific files stored on the server.

Use the Manager Files Stored on Server popup window to upload a file and store it on the server. You can also list, display and delete files already stored on the server.

To upload a file:

Click Private files or Shared files to select the folder used to store uploaded files. Files stored in the Private files folder are not visible to other administrators.
Click Browse... to locate files to upload. Then click Upload to upload the file to the server.

To delete a file stored on the server:

Click Private files or Shared files to select the folder used to store uploaded files.
Click the delete icon next to a file name to remove the file from the server.

Note: An alternate method of uploading files is to copy them directly to the managed files directory on the IIS server. This directory is normally located in the directory [drive]:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ManagedFiles\. In that directory are several sub-directories. Put private files into the directory named for that administrator. Put shared files into the VSASharedFiles directory. Any files located in this directory will automatically update what is available in the scripting user interface at the next administrator logon.
