FileWalker

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

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 "Elements" section of the "Applications" module. A new element can be created by dragging and dropping the element from here and positioning it on the workspace.

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