Configure LAN input

LAN input collects files from a local folder or Windows share.

SettingDefaultEffect
UNC pathEmptyFolder path; supports <DEFAULTDIR> and runtime tags and is normalised before save. Validate the evaluated path.
After receivingDeleteDeletes or leaves the source after copying.
Wait for0Inbound wait setting. The class does not make its unit explicit, so verify the setup label/runtime behaviour in the installed version.

Use a UNC path for service access rather than an interactive user's mapped drive. Grant the service account only required list/read/create/move/delete rights. Test incomplete/locked files, same-name collision, share outage, restart, leave/delete behaviour and multiple worker threads. Copy success is not end-to-end Flow success; determine what happens when later processing fails. See File Connection locking and operate Transports.
