Unclear documentation regarding local file source connector

[Joly0]

What happened?

Hey, i have just installed airbyte using the abctl command on a windows vm. I want to add a local folder so i can add that as a source for local files. The problem here is, that the documentation is talking about configs in the .env file, but that is when using the docker-compose approach which, according to the documentation, is the old way to do it and the new and recommended way is abctl instead. But i have not found any way using the abctl approach to add a local folder as a source.

What did you expect to happen?

I had this issue as well (unclear how to access the CSV files or if even possible); I reported in Slack with some discussion there - https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1726562874434619

Another user reported that the "files are written on destination connector pod file system, but data are gone when synchronization is done"
