LAN (Inbound)

A LAN Transport is used to connect to a shared network folder over the local network. You can receive Files from the shared network folder. You configure the LAN Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote folder and retrieving any files that match your requirements. The Inbound Transport will always activate with a particular File Connection and it is the properties of this File Connection that determine the filter for matching files.

The LAN Transport can only be used with a UNC network path.

WARNING

It is not possible to use mapped network paths if the action is to be executed under FlowService. This is because service applications are not able to access information regarding mapped network drives. You should use the UNC path instead
