# Capturing Files via File Import

> Reading existing export files from a folder path – without targets and without credentials.

The *File Import* scan module reads files from a folder path instead of
addressing a system on the network. It belongs to the *Other* category. Instead of
targets and credentials the wizard requires a folder path: *Basics* ›
*Path Selection* › *Schedule* › *Summary*.

## Specifying the folder path

The *Path Selection* step requires an absolute path – a local path such as
`C:\Import\` or a share such as `\\Server\Share\`. A relative path is not
accepted.

<Warning>
  Only the form of the path is checked. Whether the folder is actually
  reachable only shows when the job runs.
</Warning>

Schedule and summary follow the standard path – see
