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:

  1. Add a File System Connector to your application.

  2. Provide your folder's path and, if required, provide it with valid user credentials to access the folder.

  3. 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 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.



Connection Editor Properties

  1. Path

    This is the folder path on the server or network that will be made accessible via this connector.

  2. User

    The username to gain access to the folder. This is in the format of <domain name>\<username>. If no value is provided for this property, the Application Pool User will be used.

  3. Password

    The password that will be used in combination with the username to gain access to the folder.

Note: Stadium currently supports , but not mapped drives yet.
