## 12.7. Accessing the File System

You can access an EKM server's file system by selecting Jobs > File System.

By default, the starting directory on the File System page is your user directory under the `EKM job data/workspace` directory. This is where EKM creates job working directories by default. For example:

The starting directory may be different if the EKM administrator has specified one in the `jobFileSystemHome` setting in the ekm.xml file. For more information, see Specifying Remote Process Policies (<remoteProcess>).

In the File System view you can navigate to a specific folder, or enter the path to the folder in the address bar and click Go. To move up a level in the folder structure, click the up arrow next to the Go button.

When navigating the EKM server file system, you can return to the starting directory at any time by clicking .

If you want to locate the working directory of a particular job, the easiest way to do this is to access the working directory directly from the job status view. See Accessing a Job's Working Directory. When you do so, the working directory is displayed in the File System view.

Note: If you select a text or image file in a file system folder and its content is not displayed, it is likely that you entered a partial URL instead of the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) when launching EKM. For details see Launching the EKM Web Client.

You can perform various data management tasks while in the File System view. Note that the actions available for a particular folder depend on the permissions that you have on that folder.
