(Interactive Access) Explorer

This section allows you to transfer files between local and remote devices. In
Explorer
you can carry out remote file operations, such as download, upload, rename, and delete files. You can click the
play symbol
 next to an executable file installed in the remote device to start it.
You can monitor file transferring processes through a practical two-panes view, showing both the root and the receiving folder paths.
This section is split in two panes: The left panel displays the files the local device running the
FactoryTalk® Remote Access™
 Manager
, while the right pane shows the files the remote device.
In
Explorer
, you can manage files uploaded via an SD card or an USB memory stick connected to your device. Your device System Manager automatically applies predefined mounting options, allowing the contents of the SD card or USB memory stick to appear in the
Explorer
 section. From there, you can read, write, and exchange data directly with your device.
To access the
Explorer
 pane, proceed as follows:
  1. Make sure that the
    FactoryTalk® Remote Access™
     Manager
     is connected to the remote device.
  2. Access the
    Explorer
    Device view
     section.
  3. Click the
    Interactive Access
     Tool button, then select
    Explorer
    .
    NOTE: See Interactive Access for further information on this Tool.
NOTE: File transferring operates with local system privileges. This means that the
FactoryTalk® Remote Access™
 Manager
 admin can enable or disable specific operations for remote users.
Once you have selected the files that you want to transfer, click
Send
 or
Receive
, as needed.
NOTE: In case the file transferring is interrupted for any reason, it can be resumed or restarted by clicking
Resume
 or
Resume all
.
To rename a file or folder, right-click it and select
Rename
 in the context menu.
