Read and Write Files directly from the file system

Hello,

I want to ask if there is a way to directly read and write files (especially csv files) from the file system of the computer. It would also be interesting if I could only create new files or if there is a way to write to already existing files. I know that you can create files and download them in the browser but it would be better if the files could be written via a file path. Currently the WebIQ Server is running on the ctrlX Core but I could switch the Server to the PC if this is needed.

Thanks for the help!

That should work (did you try?) but please note that in general these files will be removed when updating an HMI to a later version.

Once again I highly recommend using the clean version of a separate program, e.g. in NodeJS, that does all the work for you as it works even when no HMI is running in a browser, but started in the server.
