    How to run Convert to ESF

    1. Folder watching:

    Configure ‘Time to wait between directory scans (s)

    – Zero to disable scanning’

    Greater than Zero to enable scanning – EG 60 = scan every 60 seconds

    The process will then poll the configured folders, moving input files to either done or error.
    If a file is moved to error, the same filename will be written with the extension .txt indicating the error that occurred.

    2. Using the simple HTTP api:

    Configure ‘Time to wait between directory scans (s) – 0 to disable scanning’.

    Post to the api url:
