### 15.3.2. Using Built-in Remote File Servers

EKM has two built-in remote file servers that only members of the `admin` group can reference in new connections to remote files/folders: Audit Logs and EKM Root Directory. These built-in remote file servers cannot be deleted and they are hidden for non-`admin` users. The server address (or the location that the server points to) for the Audit Logs file server is the logs directory in `EKM_HOME` (that is, EKM_HOME/logs). This folder contains the daily logs generated by EKM. See Managing Logs for more details.

The server address for the EKM Root Directory file is `EKM_ROOT182`, which is the directory where the EKM server is set up.

The EKM Root Directory server, by default, is only referenced by the `Sample Files` folder in `/Data/Shared Data`. However, as an `admin` user, you can create a Remote Folder or File that points to any other location in `EKM_ROOT182`.

For more details on `EKM_HOME` and `EKM_ROOT182`, refer to EKM Path Variables.
