Local file system

Connect to a local file system

1. In the Big Data Tools window, click and select Local.

2. In the Big Data Tools dialog that opens, specify the connection parameters:

   

   • Name: the name of the connection to distinguish it between the other connections.

   • Root path: a path to the root directory.

   Optionally, you can set up:

   • Per project: select to enable these connection settings only for the current project. Deselect it if you want this connection to be visible in other projects.

   • Enable connection: deselect if you want to restrict using this connection. By default, the newly created connections are enabled.
