File servers & connectors
Connecting a file server
Windows shares, NAS, SFTP, SharePoint or the Pulsor agent: which one to choose.
Which connection
- Windows share or NAS (SMB): a Windows server, Synology, QNAP… reachable from Pulsor, with a read-only account;
- SFTP: a Linux server or remote hosting, with a password or a key;
- SharePoint: document libraries of Microsoft 365;
- Pulsor folder: a disk already mounted on the machine where Pulsor runs (dedicated deployments);
- Pulsor agent: when Pulsor cannot reach the server (Pulsor Cloud and a server inside your network). See the Pulsor agent.
Choose the folders
After connecting, browse the tree and tick the folders to index; exclude the others. For each folder, choose the department or the access, or let the documents wait in Classer.
Synchronization
Pulsor reads the server regularly: new and modified files are indexed, deleted files are removed. Pulsor only reads; it never modifies or deletes anything on your server.
