## Introduction

This is the first set of exercises for the [Configuration Advanced Level (Level 2)](https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTERCLOUD/460172). The main goal of these exercises is to <span style="color: #0d0d0d">help you set up and manage</span> [Xporter File Servers](https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTERCLOUD/431084/File+Servers).

The File Servers section allows administrators to define locations where Xporter documents generated by the [Workflow Post Function](https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTERCLOUD/460608) will be uploaded.
