filecopy.source

Background

This option sets the file system path to the source of the data files for file system data sources. This can be any of: an absolute local path (Linux), an absolute UNC path (Windows), or a URL with one of the supported URL schemes (file and smb).

Multiple sources can be specified by separating with commas.

Notes:

  • Only for file system data sources.

  • For indexing Windows file shares it is recommended to use smb:// urls rather than UNC paths. e.g. smb://server/directory/ rather than \\server\directory
