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:

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 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.
