Get directory path from PC

[Hulk]

Hi all,

currently im using "Directory" and "File Status" nodes to find out the directory path from my PC. You can refer as below 

This is done by node-red installed in my PC. My question is how can I get this directory path when using node-red installed in ctrlX core?

If you know to to access to PC's directory by using ctrlX core please share with me.

Many thanks.

Regards!

Which palette (including the directory and file status node) are you using for tests of your PC based Node-RED?

In case of installed Node-RED app on a ctrlX CORE you can use e.g. ftp or smb extensions for accessing files on the network e.g. on your PC.

I'm using fs-ops node to do this.

This is used for machine vision application.

There is a Cognex Camera which is detecting defective products then capture these pictures and send back to local PC by FTP protocol.

CtrlX core needs to access to that PC and read out the lastest image then decode it and storge to SQL server.

Basically, node-red could do this task as the node i did attach above. Unfotunately, it only works on PC. inside ctrlX core it doesn't work.

Let me try with your reference.

Thank you
