Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

After you have registered a server with the BFS client, you may need to organize the data that the server
provides by adding directories to the server. Directories are used if the third-party application requires that
several files be placed on the server. To organize files by placing them in directories, create the directory first.
After creating the directory, you can then add files or links to it.

Important: Unless instructed by us, do not edit existing servers. Editing existing servers without assistance from
us may cause the system to become unstable.
