How to use our LDAP client with the user accounts option
In version v2025.5.4.0 we added a LDAP Client option to our User Accounts setup. This new option is available for Site+ and Coporate+ license holders.
Open the Accounts option under the Tools menu item:
In our example the administrators group of the limagito domain was added. We used the administrators group in our test, but this can be any group.
Check ‘Enable User’
Check ‘Domain User or Group’
Add Username (or Groupname) with the domain as prefix ( domain\username or domain\groupname )
You need to use the sAMAccountName
Switch to the LDAP Client Tab
Check ‘Enable Client’
Add the Client(s) you need
You can add multiple domains
For each domain you add, you need to add:
LDAP Host, our LDAP test server is using the IP 192.168.2.202
LDAP Port, our LDAP test server is listening on Port 636
LDAP Use TLS
When enabled TLS will be used to encrypt the LDAP packets
Login screen using the administrator user of the limagito domain ( limagito\administrator ). In our example the administrator user of the limagito domain is a member of the limagito domain administrators group so the logon will be successful.
If you need any help with this option, please let us know.

Advanced Moving Rule Temporary Directory Option
Advanced Moving Rule Temporary Directory Option
Q: Regarding the temporary folder. This location, that I’m going to change it to a new D:, but just curious, what happens if this location does fill up. What happens to the job that’s running and using it?
Temporary Directory Option:
This folder is uses as temporary storage between Source and Destination. Each Rule uses multiple threads so we can handle Source and Destination files at the same time. Never use a network folder as Temporary Directory.
This option needs to be set for each Rule separately
A: It will give an OS error because we are not able to write the stream from the source to this temporary directory. To prevent it from filling up you could enable the on error event and send an e-mail if something goes wrong.
Q: Will enable the event. I’am using AWSS3 as Source but don’t have any control over how much data they put in that S3 bucket, if there is 1 TB of files and the d: drive is only 100 GB, does Limagito just divide that up in to manageable chunks based on the free space of the D: drive? I know the first iteration of the job was close to 1 TB and the drive is only 100 GB, but it succeeded.
A: That is because the temp files were moved to the destination. Multiple threads are working at the same time getting files from the Source and moving them to their Destination (s). You could enable our precondition and check the free size of the D drive. Then you would set the max files for a single scan to for example 50 files or more so it would recheck the free space every 50 files.
Enable ‘Check Free Disk Space’. In this example:
scanning of source files would be allowed when free disk space on Y:\ is more than 15%
scanning of source files would be skipped when free disk space on Y:\ is 10% or lower
Schedule Setup > Advanced Tab > Max. Files processed in Once Scan is set to 50 as an example
Each scan will handle 50 files and will check the precondition first

How to to skip files if they already exist at the destination
How to to skip files if they already exist at the destination
Q: I’m looking to setup a nightly schedule that will copy files from source to destination. Is there a way to skip files if they already exist at the destination?
A: If you start with a fresh setup, meaning no files available in the Destination when you first trigger the Rule then we really recommend our ‘File Memory’ option. This way our tool remembers which files were already copied to the destination and this is also the fastest way.
If some destination files already exist then you could fill the File Memory database first. This is only possible with [WIN] as Source!
1.Enable ‘Enable File Memory’ option (previous screenshot). This option must stay enabled.
2.Enable ‘Skip Destination when filename isn’t in the database (WIN)’ and click <Save>
3. Enable the Rule and trigger it once, the Rule will run and fill the file memory database. With the ‘Skip Destination when filename isn’t in the database (WIN)’ enabled the Rule will skip the destination during this scan and only fill the file memory database.
4. Next, Disable ‘Skip Destination when filename isn’t in the database (WIN)’ and click <Save>
This way the file memory database was filled with the existing [WIN] Source files. Any new files in the source will be copied once during the next scan.
