FilePath

Windows Desktop Client

1. Download the Windows installer (or portable version if preferred)
2. When you run the installer, Windows SmartScreen will display a warning:
   • Click "More info"
   • Click "Run anyway" button
3. Follow the installation prompts
4. The application will start in your system tray
5. Right-click the tray icon and select "Settings" to configure your zones

Server Installation Steps

1. Download and extract filepath-powershell-client.zip
2. Open PowerShell as Administrator and set execution policy:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

   This allows locally created scripts to run while still requiring downloaded scripts to be signed.
3. Edit config.json with your credentials and zone configuration:

{
  "apiUrl": "https://fpr.pathagility.com",
  "secretKey": "your-secret-key-here",
  "logFile": "C:\\FilePath\\logs\\filepath.log",
  "zones": [
    {
      "queueName": "Zone1",
      "downloadPath": "C:\\FilePath\\downloads\\Zone1",
      "uploadPath": "C:\\FilePath\\uploads\\Zone1"
    }
  ]
}

4. Test the connection:

.\test-connection.ps1

5. Install as scheduled task (runs every 5 minutes):

.\install-task.ps1

6. Or run manually:

.\filepath-sync.ps1

Setting Up Your First Zone

1. Right-click the FilePath tray icon and select Settings
2. Enter your Access Key and Secret Key at the top
3. Click Fetch Zones to load your available zones
4. Navigate to Zone 1 tab
5. Toggle Enable Zone to ON
6. Select a zone from the Queue Name dropdown
7. Click Browse to set your download directory
8. Click Browse to set your upload directory
9. Click Save Configuration

Common Issues

Connection Errors

• Verify your Secret Key is correct
• Check your internet connection
• Ensure firewall allows HTTPS traffic

Files Not Transferring

• Check the Logs window for error messages
• Verify directories exist and are writable
• Ensure the zone is enabled in Settings
• For uploads: wait 2 seconds after file stabilizes
• For downloads: polling occurs every 7 minutes

PowerShell Client Issues

• If scripts won't run: Check execution policy with Get-ExecutionPolicy
• Run test-connection.ps1 to verify connection
• Check C:\FilePath\logs\filepath.log for errors
• Verify scheduled task is enabled in Task Scheduler

Windows SmartScreen Warnings

• FilePath executables are not digitally signed
• Click "More info" then "Run anyway" when prompted
• This is safe for software from trusted sources like your organization
