# Configure file transfer to a server

To configure remote file transfer for an RD Session Host, Provider, or Remote PC, do the following:

1. In the Parallels RAS Console, select the **Farm** category and then select a desired server type (RD Session Host, Provider, Remote PCs) in the middle pane.
2. Right-click a desired server in the right pane and choose **Properties**.
3. Select the **Agent Settings** tab.
4. Select the **Allow file transfer command** option and click the **Configure** button. A dialog opens where you can specify remote file transfer options as described below.
5. In the **Direction** drop-down list, select one of the following:
   * **Client to server only**: Transfer files from client to server only.
   * **Server to client only**: Transfer files from server to client only.
   * **Bidirectional**: Transfer files in both directions.
6. In the **Location** field, specify a UNC path to a folder to be used as the default upload location. This path will also be used as the default source location when a user tries to download a file from a remote server. You can select from one of the locations predefined in the drop-down list or you can specify your own. Standard Windows environment variables, such %USERNAME%, %USERDOMAIN%, %USERPROFILE%, can be used. If the location is not found during an upload or download operation, the standard (default) download location will be used.
7. The **Do not allow to change location** option prohibits the user to change the UNC path specified in the **Location** field. If the option is enabled, the user cannot select a different location while trying to upload or download a file. If the option is cleared, the user can specify a different location.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Please note that the **Do not allow to change location** option cannot prevent the user from accessing the specified remote location directly. For example, a user can try to upload a file, note the default location's UNC path (to which he/she has access), then open it in File Explorer and copy it to any folder in his/her profile. To prevent such a scenario from happening, you need to implement additional measures to control locations other than the location that you specify here.
