Optional Mapped Drives - Images Folder and Private Working Folder

If you are building browser  applications, then, the Visual LANSA Framework will need to copy data from your Visual LANSA workstation to your LANSA for the Web images folder and to your Private Working Folder (these folders reside on your LANSA for the Web server system). 

It can do this by using FTP commands or DOS COPY commands.

DOS COPY commands are usually faster.

To use DOS COPY commands you need to have a mapped drive that allows access to both folders.

The mapped drive can be in either \\server\xxx\xxxx format or in <drive>:\xxxx\xxxx format (often drive I: is used for such mapped drive assignments to System i servers). 

If you have mapped drive network access to your Images and Private Working folders specify both paths in full.

You should use the Verify Button for both paths. A message box should be displayed indicating the success of the verification process. If the verification process fails you should resolve the problem before proceeding further.

See Images Folder for more details about the LANSA for the Web Images folder.

See Private Working Folder for more details about setting up your Private Working folders.

Also see Script for Uploading to your LANSA for the Web Folders.

This property is in the Developer Preferences – Web Server tab.
