### 8.6.16. Editing Remote Item Properties

You can change the properties for a connection to a remote folder or file that was created using the New > Connection to a File/Folder on a Remote Server action (see Creating a Connection to a Remote File or Folder). The properties include the file server the object resides on and the location on the server.

You will be able to edit remote item properties only if:

1. You have `Modify` permission on the object

2. It is checked out to you (if it is under version control).

3. No other user has exclusive control of it.

To change the properties for a remote file or folder:

1. Select the remote file or folder, then select (Edit) > Remote Item Properties. This opens the Edit Remote Item Properties dialog box.

2. Choose the File Server from the drop-down list. Available remote file servers that have been defined by your EKM system administrator will be listed.

3. Click Browse to specify the location of the object on the remote server. If specifying the object path directly, make sure that the path is absolute for service host file servers, and relative for other file servers that are within the LAN of the EKM server.

4. Click OK.
