Send to Folder

The Send to Folder connector can save the scanned document in a selected folder on the network. The document can be saved in two locations:

  • [Send to Folder]: Saves documents in a shared network folder.
  • [Send to Home Folder]: Saves documents in the [User Home Folder] using the home folder setting obtained from the Delegation Server. 

Authentication requirements

The Send to Folder connector supports both NTLMv2 and Kerberos as the authentication method. For details about selecting the authentication method, refer toDelegation Server Settings.

  • The attribute of the home folder must be "homeDirectory".
  • When LDAP/Kerberos is used as the authentication method for the workflow, the proxy user information specified for the authentication profile, not the login information of the user, is used when accessing folders and delivering documents.
  • When LDAP/Kerberos is used as the authentication method for the workflow, the leading element of the proxy user's DN is used when accessing folders.
  • Devices categorized as "RICOH Device (2007-2011 models)" only support SMBv1 for the Send to Folder connector in a workflow whose job processing location is [On Device]. For details about the supported models, refer to List of Supported Models and Functions.
  • The following shared folders can be configured as delivery destinations:
    • A shared folder on a computer running under Windows
    • Unix operating system running Samba that supports NTLMv2
    • Local folder on a server

To configure the properties of the Send to Folder connector:

  1. In the Delivery Flow, click the [Send to Folder] connector icon.

  2. On the [Send to Folder] tab, enter the display name in [Display Name].

  3. Under [Add/Delete StartPoint Path], click [Add].

To delete a start point path, select the path to delete in the list, and click [Delete].

  1. On the Add or Delete Start Point Path window, add or edit a start point path, and click [OK].

  2. To use Send to Home Folder, select [Enable Send to Home Folder] in [Send to Home Folder]. When Send to Home Folder is enabled, also configure the related settings.

This function is available only when LDAP/Kerberos authentication is used as the authentication method for the workflow. When the other authentication method is used, this function does not work even if it is selected

You can configure the same settings as for the start point path such as subfolder browsing and the file naming rule for the Home Folder.

For full descriptions of the Send to Folder settings, refer to Send to Folder Settings.
