A document root, or docroot, is the area of a machine that a system user has
permission to access. Setting docroots are important for maintaining security by keeping
unqualified users from accessing confidential information.
Procedure
Go to Nodes and click edit for
the node.
Go to Accounts and click edit for
the user or group you want to configure.
Expand the Docroot configuration section and click
Browse. Choose the file directory you want to set as
the docroot.
The docroot is a security feature that allows you to restrict the area
asperawatchfolderd can access. If you need to acces the entire
file system, you can set the docroot path as / or leave it empty. The directory you
choose is configured in the aspera.conf configuration
file on the transfer node.
