Configure LAN input
LAN input collects files from a local folder or Windows share.
| Setting | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| UNC path | Empty | Folder path; supports <DEFAULTDIR> and runtime tags and is normalised before save. Validate the evaluated path. |
| After receiving | Delete | Deletes or leaves the source after copying. |
| Wait for | 0 | Inbound 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.
