Upload the file at the specified path from the managed machine. Be sure to enter a full path filename that you want to upload. Example: news\info.txt. Folders are created when the getFile() command is run, if they don't already exist. The file is stored on the Kaseya Server in a private directory for each managed machine. View or run the uploaded file using Agent Procedures > Get File.
If file already exists on the server, it will only be uploaded again if it has changed.
Optionally, existing copies of uploaded files are renamed with a .bak extension prior to the next upload of the file. This allows you to examine both the latest version of the file and the previous version.
Optionally create a Get File alert if the uploaded file differs or is the same from the file that was uploaded previously. You must create a Get File alert for a machine ID using the Monitor > Alerts - Get File page to enable the sending of an alert using the getFile() command. Once defined for a machine ID, the same Get File alert is active for any agent procedure that uses a getFile() command and is run on that machine ID. Turn off alerts for specific files in the agent procedure editor by selecting one of the without alerts options.
Do not enclose the file path in quotes, even if it contains spaces. They will be added automatically by the procedure editor.
getFile("c:\temp\NetStopInfoStore.txt", "backuplogs\NetStopInfoStore.txt", "Overwrite existing file and sent alert if file changed", "All Operating Systems", "Halt on Fail")
