Hello @Beck,Ian ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

The file system connector supports:

• Copying files from/to local machine or network file share. To use a Linux file share, install Samba on your Linux server.
• Copying files using Windows authentication.
• Copying files as-is or parsing/generating files with the supported file formats and compression codecs.

host - Specifies the root path of the folder that you want to copy. Use the escape character "" for special characters in the string. See Sample linked service and dataset definitions for examples.

Note: When authoring via UI, you don't need to input double backslash (\) to escape like you do via JSON, specify single backslash.

Host name should be as shown below:

For more details, refer to Copy data to or from a file system by using Azure Data Factory.
