Filestore definition and file save commands

CLI Guide | Forcepoint Appliances | v8.4.x

A filestore is a remote (off-box) location that you define for storing backup and configuration files. The filestore can be FTP, Samba, or TFTP. It allows you to either load files onto the server (upgrades, hotfixes, or routes) or save files from the server to be edited/viewed outside the appliance (logs or routes). You can create a maximum of 10 filestores.

The alias must be between 1 and 60 characters and begin with a letter. It may contain letters, numbers, periods, and hyphens, but may not contain 2 consecutive periods, nor end with a period.
