Creating a Remote Server Mount

First, you'll need the ID of the Remote server which can be found using this command:

files-cli remote-servers list

Then you can configure the Remote Server Mount using this command:

files-cli behaviors create --path "path/to/folder" --behavior "remote_server_mount" --value '{ "remote_server_id": <ID>, "remote_path": "/remote/server/path/to/remote/folder" }'

In the above command, replace <ID> with the ID found with the previous list command.

Updating a Remote Server Mount

You'll need the ID of the Remote server which can be found using this command:

files-cli remote-servers list

Then you can update the Remote Server Mount using this command:

files-cli behaviors update --path "path/to/folder" --behavior "remote_server_mount" --value '{ "remote_server_id": <ID>, "remote_path": "/updated/path/to/remote/folder" }'
