RAMADDA Workshop

The Local File View entry type allows you to create a dynamic view of portions of your file system.

1. Make sure you are logged in as an Administrator account
2. Create a Local File View entry
   • Navigate to the Data folder on your local RAMADDA: http://localhost:8080/repository/entry/show/Data
   • Go to File->New Entry
   • Under the General section select Local File View
   • Specify some name - Local Data Files
   • Under the "Look for files here" section enter the data directory on your server, e.g.:

         /data
     

     or:

         <user home>/data
     

   • Press Save and note the results.
3. The problem is we are trying to access files on the server in an area that RAMADDA has not been authorized to access.
   • Go to the Admin page and under the Access section enter the data directory path and press Change Settings:
     
   • Now, go view the Local File View entry
