txa file system

Post by charliehbeijer »

In a script, if I wanted to write some information to a file, and read it back later, what would be a reasonable directory in which to store the file?

If I wanted to write a file from a script, such that the file could be accessed by FTP, what directory would I put the file in?

This forum post has code that you can use to save a file in the ftp directory.

If you want to create a lot of your own files, you might want to create your own directory on the FlashDrive and then manage all your files there.

I see, and can the internal flash drive be mounted on a PC over USB? Or is there a graphical file browser in the t7x? I tried vs 2008's "remote file viewer" without success.

No, the internal drive is managed by the Win CE operating system running on the panel. There is no file browser like windows explorer that is easily accessible to the user.

You need to programmaticly create and delete files on the panel's internal memory.
