Access file on network folder with python

[JLG_War]

Hello,

Is it possible with the help of a python script on the ctrlX core to access a file on a network drive. Currently we need to use winscp to add the files to the core. The customer doesn't want this because then they have multiple locations to store these files and no longer a overview where everything is stored. Is there already a client to access files on a network drive or is this still in development?

Thanks in advance

The general feature for connecting network drives to the ctrlX CORE is still in progress in our R&D and is planned to be implemented in version 3.2 coming up for testing in July this year.

A script on the ctrlX OS will still be executed by an application on the system that needs to have the corresponding access rights to the network resources, so it is not possible out of the box.

In the topic "How to read, write and post csv file stored in sd-card plugged in CF01 slot?" a Node-RED based samba protocol solution was discussed.

As an addition you could also use a WinSCP feature for automatically syncing files from a PC to a control, so customer would not have to care about the update.
