In this recipe, we will explore how Orchestrator can interact with the filesystem of its operating system. We will also take a look at how to access a network share and execute local files.
Orchestrator needs to be able to access a directory on the local filesystem. To configure this access and set the access rights, take a look at the Configuring access to the local filesystem recipe in Chapter 2, Optimizing Orchestrator Configuration.
In addition to this, you should have administrative (root) access to Orchestrator's operating system.
In my example, I have granted full access (rwx) to the /orchestrator directory.
We have a bit of ground to cover, so let's start!
