  1. Locate the Caringo FileFly Agent installer among the executables in the unzipped bundle.

  2. Launch the installation wizard EXE file for the correct FileFly version and follow the prompts.

  3. If installing an agent onto the FileFly Tools server, you are warned about additional memory requirements:

  4. Verify the server meets the minimum requirements and runs one of the supported operating systems required by FileFly Tools:

  5. Accept the license agreement.

  6. Set the installation location:

  7. FileFly Agents come in two modes. Choose what type of agent to install:


    • Agent for migration —  Used to migrate files to other destinations in our case Swarm, Content Gateway, S3, Azure, or Drive. Most standalone Windows deployments install the agent for migration only.

    • Gateway Agent — Used to provide access to a Swarm/Gateway destination for servers without direct access. It does not migrate files.

  8. After the installation, you are prompted to activate the agent. The activation code for this agent (which is automatically copied to your clipboard) must be registered in your Admin Portal. 

  9. Open the FileFly Admin Portal and go navigate to the Servers tab. If this is a re-install, first retire the server that appears there, and then add it as new:

  10. On the Add Server page, select Standalone Server:

  11. Enter the fully qualified domain name of the server being configured, add comments, and click Next.

  12. Verify the Hostname and IP address, and click Next.

  13. Click Next, and the Admin Portal contacts the server and gather the details required to register it with the FileFly Tools.

  14. Paste the key on the clipboard into the Activation Code field, and click Activate:

  15. With the server registered, close the Agent installer.

Note

If this step is delayed, the plugin shows errors until it is configured with a configuration file:

To check that this is the issue, go navigate to the default log directory for the FileFly Agent:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Caringo FileFly\logs\FileFly Agent\agent.log

Open the log in a text editor. The bottom of that the log file has an entry such as follows: 

Code Block
2019-03-14 04:44:42.326 (GMT-07:00) checking for clients...
2019-03-14 04:44:45.013 (GMT-07:00) <H05> ATTENTION: Configuration file is missing or contains no settings:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Caringo FileFly\data\FileFly Agent\cloudscaler.cfg
Please configure.

This is expected; the next step is to install the configuration tools.
