A File System Endpoint allows a folder or directory to be accessible from an Access Point server—a local file system, a mounted network file system, or on a Windows Access Point, a UNC path—to act as a source or destination for data transfer. See also What is an Access Point? The File System Endpoint has the following attributes.

Selecting a Source or Destination Directory
As part of creating a File System Endpoint, you select an Access Point and specify a directory on the Access Point to be a source or destination for a Data Flow. The file system where the directory resides can be the local system where the Access Point is installed or a shared system you have access to. See File System Endpoint for more detailed information about Access Points as they relate to File System Endpoints.
