Windows Share Service

The Windows Share Service connects B2Win Suite to a Windows file share (SMB/CIFS), enabling workflows to read from and write to shared network directories. It is used by the Copy File (Win Share), Read File (Win Share), and File Listener (Win Share) nodes.

Configure in B2Win Suite

Go to Configurations > Services and open the Windows Share service. Create a new configuration or edit an existing one:

Name (required) — A display name for this configuration.
Description — Optional description.
Service Override Type — Controls whether users can override this configuration. See Services Configuration for details.
Host (required) — The hostname or IP address of the machine hosting the Windows share (e.g. fileserver01 or 192.168.1.10).
Domain (required) — The Windows domain of the user account (e.g. MYDOMAIN).
User (required) — The username to authenticate with on the remote machine.
Password (required) — The password for the user account.
Path — The root path to the directory where the files are stored. Node-level paths are appended to this root path.

Click Test Connection to verify the credentials and connectivity, then Save to store the configuration.

See Services Configuration for admin options such as field permissions and override policies, or My Services if you are configuring this as a user.

Once configured, this service can be selected in the following nodes:

Copy File (Win Share) — copy output files to a directory on the Windows share.
Read File (Win Share) — read a file from a directory on the Windows share.
File Listener (Win Share) — trigger a workflow when a file changes on the Windows share.

Verify the host is reachable from the B2Win Suite server (ping or telnet on port 445).
Confirm the domain, username, and password are correct.
Ensure the user account has read/write permissions on the target share.
Check that SMB access is not blocked by a firewall.
