Field
Description
Default
"Remote host is not who we expected". For more information, see
on page 16 ("Configuring Transfer
Server Authentication").
id
Value used to identify a Watch Folder. If this field is not configured
at creation, a UUID is automatically generated for and assigned to
the Watch Folder.
N/A
cool_off
How long the Watch Folder service waits for files in the watched
folder to stop changing (stabilize) before taking a directory snapshot
and creating a drop. Default: 5s.
5s
snapshot_creation_period
The interval during which Watch Folders groups new files in the
source directory into a drop. All files in a drop are transferred in
the same transfer session, post-processed together, and reported
as a unit. Watch Folders uses asperawatchd to detect file system
modifications, and continuously creates snapshots to compute
the snapshot differential. A small value results in high temporal
resolution for detecting file system modifications, whereas a large
value improves asperawatchd performance. Default: 3s.
