Setting Up a Remote Server Mount
First, make sure that the Remote Server you wish to mount has already been added and configured.
Select the desired Remote server from the available choices and optionally, enter a Name and Description for this mount. It's always good practice to enter a meaningful name and description for colleagues, or yourself, to refer to later.
Select the Remote Folder on the system that will be mounted onto the folder.
Select the Local Folder of your Files.com site that you want to use as the mount point.
The Root, or Home, folder of your site cannot be selected for mounting a remote server. This would cause your entire site to be hosted on the remote server and prohibit you from being able to implement other Remote Mounts for your site. If you wish your entire site to be a Remote Server Mount then we strongly recommend using a Child Site, which can have its Root folder configured for a Remote Mount by using our CLI App or API.
