The addition of the SNVT_address typed network variable nvoFileDirectory is
important for enabling the direct memory files feature for access to the
configuration property files. The LonTalk Interface Developer initializes this
network variable’s value correctly, and creates all required structures and code
for direct memory file access; see Using Direct Memory Files on page 96 for more
information.
Alternatively, you can use the L ON W ORKS File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to access
the file directory and the files in the directory. In this case, you need to
implement the network variables and message tags as needed for the
implementation of a L
ON
W
ORKS
FTP server in the model file, and provide
application code in your host to implement the protocol. See the File Transfer
engineering bulletin at www.echelon.com for more information about the
L ON W ORKS file transfer protocol.
