  1. Log on to the system as a user with administrator rights.

  2. Change directory to the /bin directory.

  3. Run the command.

    ./mfetpcli --setquarantinefolder /directory_path/

    You must specify the absolute path directory.

    Note

    You can't configure the existing directories to quarantine the detections. You should specify a new directory name.

    For example,./mfetpcli --setquarantinefolder /root/ensl_quarantinedir/

    The default quarantine directory for standalone systems is /Quarantine. For systems managed by ePO - On-prem, you can use the Common Policy to configure the quarantine directory. The default directory configured in the Common Policy is /quarantine/.
