# salt.fileserver.minionfs

Fileserver backend which serves files pushed to the Master

The `cp.push` function allows Minions to push files up to the Master. Using this backend, these pushed files are exposed to other Minions via the Salt fileserver.

To enable minionfs, `file_recv` needs to be set to `True` in the master config file (otherwise `cp.push` will not be allowed to push files to the Master), and `minionfs` must be added to the `fileserver_backends` list.

    fileserver_backend:
      - minionfs

Note

`minion` also works here. Prior to the 2018.3.0 release, only `minion` would work.

Other minionfs settings include: `minionfs_whitelist`, `minionfs_blacklist`, `minionfs_mountpoint`, and `minionfs_env`.
