The Remote File System (DefaultDaemonFileSpace) represents the files that are accessible for read-only access when a platform-is connected to a remote host. As needed, you can expand folders and examine and/or copy files to your local computer. Included in the Nav tree under the Remote File System are main nodes for:

  • The system home (Sys Home) root folder, under which all installation/runtime files are installed.

  • The user home (User Home) root folder for the platform daemon, under which all configuration files are stored.

  • (controllers only) The root folder for the entire file system, with browse capability.

To edit or write files on the remote Niagara platform, you use the platform’s File Transfer Client.
