Network URI specification#

All network locations are specified as a URI, for example download locations, backup destinations, notification destinations, and so on.

The following list shows the URI syntax:

  • ftp: ftp://user[:password]@host[:port][/path]

  • http: http(s)://user[:password]@host[:port]/path

  • file: file://{/path}+[/filename]

  • sftp:

    • sftp://user[:password]@host[:port][/path]

    • Azure: sftp://<storage_acct_name>.<sftp_local_user>[:passwd]@<storage_acct_name>/path

      • <storage_acct_name> is set up on Azure. The name of the Storage Account.

      • <sftp_local_user> is set up on Azure if you enable SFTP and add a local user within the Storage Account settings.

  • scp: scp://[user@]host[:port]:[/path]

  • email: mailto:user@host

  • snmpv2: snmp://community@host[:port]

  • snmpv3: snmp://user:auth:password]@host[:port] ... minimum auth/password

The [password] in the URI is optional when authentication is set up. Refer to SSH key management.

Note

  • If a password contains special characters, it should not be added to the URI, but typed in at the password prompt.

  • If necessary, the URI should be URL-encoded: reserved characters should be encoded with percent-encoding.
