FileWave Client Configuration Settings

Configuration Settings are found in the Windows registry or macOS plist: 
 
 macOS:  /usr/local/etc/fwcld.plist 
 Windows FileWave 15.4.2 or lower:  HKLM\Software\FileWave\WinClient (32bit OS), HKLM\Software\FileWave\WOW6432\WinClient (64bit OS) 
 Windows FileWave 15.5.0 or higher:   HKLM\Software\FileWave\WOW6432\WinClient   
 
 Please refer to  Creating a Superprefs Fileset to find out how to change these settings on any number of clients using a fileset. 
 The following list shows the default settings in the left row, describes the function and valid alternative settings (native) 
 Basic/Minimal Configuration 
 
 
 
 server = "no.server.set" 
 FileWave server IP or DNS 
 
 
 primaryPort = 20015 
 FileWave Server Port 
 
 
 fwPassword = "" 
 Encrypted FileWave Client Password - used for remote configuration through client monitor 
 
 
 fwUser = my.filewave.client.name

 Note: The default port setting above is 20015. However, SSL is now required, and the system will automatically use port 20017 instead when 20015 is entered. Do not manually set the port to 20017. Always enter 20015, and the system will handle the SSL port change for you.
