Hi Sepp,
from the view of your app data the plc root folder is at the following path:
"/plc/run/linux-gcc-aarch64/data"
for a virtual controller this path is:
"/plc/run/linux-gcc/x64/data"
In here you can create your own files and folders which will then be accessable from the plc
The following folders are the default.
So adding for example a "/seppfolder/seppfile1.txt" would be a solution, this would be the path from the plc.
The path within the app data would then be "/plc/run/linux-gcc-aarch64/data/seppfolder/seppfile1.txt"
Small hint for accessing with webdav, the path would be "/solutions/webdav/appdata/plc/......"

that doesnt work ?!
another idea ?

From plc view the root folder is without "plc/run/linux-gcc-aarch64/data".
So it would be the following:
sFileName := 'seppdata/Seppfile1.txt';

okay, now i'm able to write the file, but there is an issue while rading the file, the szSize reports always "0" ....
any suggestions ?
P.S: i used the example from library...

Hi Sepp,
are you using the CXA_FILEASYNC library? Version 1.8.0.0
Just test it and it works fine. I used both, the ReadAsync and the GetSize.
And also your size is an ULINT and the library gives an UDINT.

sepp uses the File Access lib, because there is no other lib !
Could you pls share the CXA_FileAsync lib ?

Seems like quite some libraries are not installed to your system.
The libraries come with the normal ctrlX WORKS installation.
Try to uninstall and reinstall ctrlX WORKS.
You can stay on your version as long as you are higher or same as 1.8.
If you have the latest runtime apps with version 1.12, you should also get ctrlX WORKS 1.12.2 in the collaboration room.
