• Add the Local File Storage Connector
• Authenticate to Local File Storage
• Complete Your Connection

You can use the Local File Storage connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Local File Storage and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the Local File Storage Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Local File Storage, you first must add the connector, as follows:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Local File Storage row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the Local File Storage connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to Local File Storage

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

• Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

• File Format - Select the file format that you want to use. Sync supports the CSV, PARQUET, and AVRO file formats.

  When you select the CSV file format, the following properties are also displayed:

  • Include Column Headers (optional) - Select whether you want to obtain column names from the first line of specified files. The default option is True.

  • FMT (optional) - Enter the format that you want to use to parse all text files. The default format is CsvDelimited.

• URI - Enter the path to the folder that contains your files (for example, C:/FolderName).

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)

2. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
