New File Addition

The New File or Directory dialog has the following fields:

File Namespace

Defines the namespace for the new file or directory name in the File Namespace list. File servers normally support a number of different file systems, corresponding to different client operating systems. Each different system of file naming is known as a namespace, which embodies all of the conventions for file naming, wildcard symbols, and so on.

File Name

Specifies the full path of the file or directory to be added.

In the DOS namespace, you can also use wildcards such as “?” or “*” to include some or all files in a directory.

Example: Paths

Windows:

C:\ACCOUNTS\2002\DATA.DBS
C:\ACCOUNTS\2002\DATA.*
C:\ACCOUNTS\2002\*

Macintosh

SYS:folder1:folder2:filename

When defining file names for the Macintosh namespace, use the colon character ( : ) as the path separator, and not the backslash (\) or slash (/) used in other namespaces.

Note: Wildcards are not available in the Macintosh namespace.
