Creating a Remote Folder
You create host, vaults or replica vaults, and folders for replication. You must create a host first, then a vault, and then folders.
Creating a folder establishes a storage location and associates the location with a vault.
* 
Creating a cache vault on the File Server site is recommended because remote users can upload content to this vault much faster. However, the existence of a cache vault on a Windchill File Server is not a necessity for replicating contents to that site.
You create a remote folder from the Vault Configuration window. To access this window, click Utilities > File Server Administration > Vault Configuration, available from Products , Libraries , and Site .
To create a remote folder:
1. Select File > New > Folder. The New Folder window opens.
2. Enter a unique name for the folder in the Name field.
3. Select a vault from the Vault list.
* 
Do not select the Read Only checkbox. If you do, the folder is not available for storing uploaded or replicated content files.
4. Click OK.
Before content can be replicated to a vault, at least one of its folders must be mounted and enabled.
