In the Path field, enter the path to the directory on the server on which the update
file resides. If you are using a SnapServer, the path would be similar to the
following:
/shares / SHARE1/sigfiles
where SHARE1/sigfiles is the share path to the directory containing the signature
update files.

Distributing Updates from One Server to Another
When retrieving signature updates, the antivirus software attempts to connect to all
the sites in the site list in the order they are listed. To avoid delays or superfluous
error messages, delete the default FTP option from the list on SnapServers that have
no Internet access.
To Distribute Files via UNC
If you have more than one SnapServer with no Internet access, you can perform the
previous procedure on just one of them (or any Windows/SMB server), and then
configure your other SnapServers to get the update from that server automatically
via SMB by specifying the UNC of the server containing the signature files.
Notes
The following conditions must be met in order to distribute updates using
UNC:
• The correct Signature files must have been downloaded to the root of the share
being used for updates.
• The server containing the Signature updates must have the Guest account
enabled (
Network > Windows
) in GuardianOS. For other SMB/CIFS servers, the
Guest account must have no password, and there may be additional
requirements (e.g., Windows servers must allow anonymous connections).
• The share and Signature files must be accessible to the Guest account.
• The server name used in the UNC must be resolvable by the server running
CA Antivirus.
