Upload File Specification for Axeda Gateway,  Connector, and Agent Embedded Agents

File Specification

For Axeda Gateway and Connector Agents, you can specify a subdirectory of the home directory of the Agent on the asset and then select the Path is relative option, or you can specify the complete path to the file to be uploaded and leave the relative path option un-selected. For these agents, you can use the wildcard character (*) to specify multiple files. For example, to upload all the log files in a directory, you can specify *.log in this field.

For Axeda Agent Embedded Agents, specify the directory of the Agent application on the asset. Do NOT use any wildcards. The built-in file uploader of Agent Embedded does not support wildcards.

Path is relative to asset's home directory

For Axeda Gateway and Connector Agents, if you typed a relative path on the source asset, select this option. If you do not select this option, the Axeda® Platform assumes this is an absolute path for Axeda Gateway and Axeda Connector Agents. For example, "file.txt" specifies the file is located in the home directory and "files\file.txt" specifies the file is located in the "files" directory under the asset's home directory.

Note: In this option, the "asset's home directory" is assumed to be the default directory for the Agent installation on the platform. For example, if the operating system on the asset is Windows, the default installation directory for an Axeda® Agent is c:\axeda\gateway or c:\axeda\connector. The application assumes this directory in the path when you select this option.
