LAN (outbound)
A LAN Transport is used to connect to a shared network folder over the local network.
You configure the LAN Transport with the appropriate details for connecting to the remote service, and sending any files to the shared network folder.
The LAN Transport can only be used with a UNC network path. UNC uses the following format: \\server-name\shared-resource-pathname.
It is not possible to use mapped network paths if the Action is to be executed under Statelake Service. This is because service applications are not able to access information regarding mapped network drives. You should use the UNC path instead.
