When creating a file resource profile, you must use the following formats when defining a resource policy's primary resource as well as its autopolicy resources. :::hint{type="info"} Rewriting via Mobile devices is not supported/qualified. ::: Windows resources: \\\server\[\share\[\path]] Within these formats, the three components are: - **Server (required) **- Possible values: - **Hostname** - You may use the system variable \ when defining the hostname. - **IP address** - The IP address needs to be in the format: a.b.c.d :::Paragraph{indent="2"} The leading two back slashes are required for Windows, non-Nfs resources. ::: - **Share (required, Windows only)** - The system variable \ is allowed. Note that when the system tries to connect to a Windows file share, it connects to ports 445 and 139. - **Path (optional)** - Special characters allowed include: | \* | Matches any character. Note that you cannot use the \* wildcard character when defining a resource profile's primary resource (that is, the Server/share field for Windows resources or the Server field for UNIX resources). | | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | % | Matches any character except slash (/) | | ? | Matches exactly one character | For details about the configuration, refer to the [File Rewriting Configuration Guide](https://help.ivanti.com/ps/help/en_US/ICS/vNow/25.x/frcg/landingpage.htm).
