File System Connector
A File System Connector is used to access the files in a folder on your web server or network. Consider for example the scenario where you might want to set up a working folder for your application, in the form of a secure folder on your server or network, from where files could be read or updated.
Do this:
- Add a File System Connector to your application.
- Provide your folder's path and, if required, provide it with valid user credentials to access the folder.
- Once the connection is created, you can start reading, writing or deleting files from your 'workspace' by adding the relevant file function to a script or event handler. You can even assign image files directly to an Image control or allow users to download files to their local PC.
Note: The connector will have access to the specified folder and its sub-folders, but will have no access to any of the parent folders.
