FileWalker

This element is used to access files on the network. This requires an established connection and sufficient rights.

The "FileWalker" element is one of the basic controls. The element can be used to format a page and has no other special properties.

The FileWalker element can be found in the "Applications" module in the "Elements" area. A new element can be created by positioning the element on the workspace from here using drag & drop.

When you create the element, the Properties dialog opens automatically.
