Retrieve service URL from IIS

Article • 7/21/2025 • 1 min read

After you install the FileShare Service, the service adds a URL in your local Internet Information Services (IIS) web server. This URL acts as a gateway that accesses the shared folder. You need to copy this URL from your local IIS into the Service URL field in the File Path tab of the Service Configuration (SVCCONF) page.
