If you are storing your files on a NAS, SAN or de-dupe storage device it can be done easily by attaching your central server to those NAS/SAN/de-dupe devices. That puts the traffic on the storage backbone rather than your network, and you have additional tools available such as snapshots, mirrors, and clones.

If you have to do it over your network then you will require NFS, SAMBA, or other file sharing protocol that will allow access to the files to be scanned. File ownerships and permissions become very messy. It will be very slow. If the dev systems are scattered around the country it will be crazy slow.

We are trying to avoid installing clamd in developers workstations and
instead let the integration server scan email attachments for this web
application we are building.  Is there any configuration change that lets
my integration server scan file(s)?  We can enable ports if needed within
the organization.

Thanks for your help!

Your previous post showed your clamd instance is bound to the loopback
interface and as such other systems cannot connect. But even if they could
what would they do? You surely don't want to ship whole file systems across
your network for scanning, do you? That would also be required if you wish
to scan email attachments. It can be done (think NFS) but the network
traffic may surprise you.

Hi Dennis,
I am trying to connect to a Clam AV running on a separate linux box...and
if there is some configuration I have to do to connect?  Or, Clam AV even
allows that?

The fact that you take `hostname` parameter makes me think it's possible.
But, I am getting connection refused error.

Thank you so much!

Best,
Ravi

Thank you Dennis for your swift response.  Yes, I got PONG as the
response.

We are looking into firewall settings.  Appreciate your swift response.

Best regards,

Try a simple test of the clamd connection with:
echo "PING" | nc localhost 3310

It should return "PONG". If it does your problem is not related to
clamd.

Hi Al,
I am new to clamav.  I am able to install it on RHEL AWS environment
and
enabled it to run on port 3310.
