Download Button path outside Skyline Dataminer Folder (not http)

Solved866 views3rd January 2024Automation script download IAS IAS Toolkit

Hi Dojo Community

I’m using a DownloadButton to download a CSV generated via Interactive Automation Script.

Currently is working if I leave the file under Skyline DataMiner/Documents/…, setting “/Documents/…” as the RemoteFilePath parameter of the DownloadButton.

However, I’m interested in leaving the documents outside the Skyline DataMiner location, either on the other drive, or at least on any folder within C: drive. When I set the RemoteFilePath to something like “../REPORTS” or “./REPORTS” it do not downloads anything.

Am I missing something on how to set the remote file path? Or this is currently not possible and I should keep using folders within Skyline DataMiner folder?

Also, I know the existence of http, but I’m looking for options using relative path.

Thanks in advance

Hi Luis,

base on this it seems like it’s not possible to download a file to a folder outside of Skyline DataMiner(which would make sense from security point of view), so I think you should keep using folders within Skyline DataMiner folder. In order to verify that you can’t “leave” Skyline DataMiner folder, can you set absolute path to something like “C:\Your folder“, make sure Your folder exists, and check if that works. It is possible that when you do ../REPORTS you just end up creating a file somewhere you can’t find, or that you didn’t create REPORTS folder first, at least not where DataMiner is trying to find it.

Let me know if this helps,

Cheers

Thanks, Edib
I had those issues of creating files on places I didn’t intend so setting that absolute path will help.
