1.A list of all available hosts will appear under the Available Hosts table on the left.  Available hosts are any host with a FolderMaestro Agent installed on it that has successfully connected to the configured Broker.  The name that will be displayed is the computer name of the server that the FolderMaestro Agent is running on.  If a particular host is not displayed in the list then try restarting the FolderMaestro Agent Windows Service on that host, and if it successfully connects to the Broker, then the list will be updated with the computer name of that host.

 

2.Select two or more hosts from the Available Hosts table and click on the arrow pointing to the right to add the hosts to the Selected Hosts table.

 

3.For each Selected Host you will need to type in the path to the Root Folder, and then press enter.  The Root Folder for all hosts can be identical, or they can have different absolute path names based on your needs.
