During the configuration of the Filr appliance, you configured Novell Filr to communicate with your email system, as described in Changing Outbound Email Configuration Settings
in the Novell Filr 1.0.1 Installation and Configuration Guide. As a result, Filr users can send email messages to other Filr users and to anyone whose email address they know. They can also send email notifications when they create folders, add files, and so on.
In addition to this basic email functionality, you can configure your Filr site so that users can receive folder digests of site activity that are created and sent to the users who have subscribed to the folders. (For information about how users can subscribe to folders, see Subscribing to a Folder or File
in the Novell Filr 1.0.1 Web Application User Guide.)

Replace filr_hostname with the hostname or fully qualified domain name of the Filr server that you have set up in DNS.
Depending on how you have configured your Filr system, you may not be required to enter the port number in the URL, and if you are using NetIQ Access Manager, the Filr login screen is not used.
