Discovering remote station files to import

You may import files from one station to another using a discovery job or set up a regular import job.

You are connected to the station that will receive the imported file. The station has a Files node (NiagaraFilesDeviceExtension) already set up.
  1. Double-click the Files component under the Files directory list.
    The Niagara File Manager view opens.

  2. To find the files to import, click Discover.
    The discovery job finds the files on the other station and displays them in the Discovered pane. The Database pane shows files with existing file import descriptors.
  3. Select the files to import (an entire directory or a single file) and click Add.
    You may use the Ctrl key to select individual files.
    The Add window opens.
  4. Review the configuration and click OK.
    Each file has a separate Files property to review and edit for the file import descriptor.
    The station imports the files.
