Target File System Navigator

This view is shown in the bottom set of views in the default C/C++ perspective. You can also access this view through: Window > Show View > Other > QNX Targets > Target File System Navigator

The view shows the target name and directory tree in the left pane, and the contents of the selected directory in the right pane:

Each existing target connection is listed in the left pane, so you must create a connection before you can navigate any target filesystems.

Note: If the Target File System Navigator view shows only one pane, click the dropdown button (

) in the upper right corner and select Show table. You can also customize the view by selecting Table Parameters or Show files in tree. This last option is implicitly selected when Show table is not selected, so you can see the files in the left pane when the right pane is absent.

Copying files from the host to a target

To copy files from your host to a target machine:

In a file management utility on the host (e.g., Windows Explorer), select your files, then select Copy from the context menu.
In the left pane of the Target File System Navigator, expand the directory listings as needed under the entry for the target to which you're copying the files, right-click the destination directory, then select Paste.

Note: To convert files from DOS to QNX Neutrino (or Unix) format, use this command: textto -l filename. For more information, see textto in the Utilities Reference.

You can also drag and drop files to a target. To do this:

Drag your selected files from any program that supports drag-and-drop (e.g., Windows Explorer), then drop them in the appropriate destination directory shown in the Target File System Navigator.

Copying files from a target to the host

To copy files from a target machine to your host:

In the Target File System Navigator, expand the directory listings as needed under the entry for the target from which you're copying the files, select the files you want to copy, then right-click and choose Copy to > File system.

The Browse For Folder dialog box appears.
Note: To import files directly into your workspace, select Copy to > Workspace. This brings up the Select Target Folder dialog box.
Select the destination directory and click OK.

You can also copy files to the host using drag-and-drop. To do this:

Drag your selected files from the Target File System Navigator and drop them in the Project Explorer.
