RemotePath Property

The current path on the server.

Syntax

 cloudstorage.getRemotePath([callback])
 cloudstorage.setRemotePath( remotePath, [callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getRemotePath([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setRemotePath([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property shows the current working directory on the server. It can also be used to change the working directory by setting an absolute or relative path.

If the path begins with a "/" it is considered an absolute path.

If the first two characters of the path are ".." this indicates a change to the parent directory.

Example (Changing Directory)

component.RemotePath = "/MyFolder/Child"; //absolute
component.RemotePath = "GrandChild"; //relative, change to a sub-folder of the current directory
component.RemotePath = "../.."; //relative, use ".." to navigate to parent folders
