File Manager (ttfmafileman )

Use this session to browse and manage files and folders on the file system in the folder where LN is installed.

Among other things, you can upload and download files from and to the client environment. For details about the actions you can perform in this session, see Actions.

You can start the session from the Tools > Device Management menu. Alternatively, you can start the session through the Options > Run Program command in LN UI.

Folder access

You can only access folders in the LN environment. All other folders are inaccessible:

  • Super users can access these files and folders in the LN environment:
    • Appdata
    • Audit
    • Images
    • Tmp
    • Eme
    • Pmc
  • Normal users can access the Appdata folder in the LN environment.

log for locking

An AWS folder is created with the name AWS_S3_admin. This folder is a read-only folder and contains other folders that the file manager receives from the portingset. The sub folders are accessible. The File Manager (ttfmafileman) can open the logging files generated by the "Log for locking" mechanism and downloading these files is more convenient.

The logging for locking data is stored in this folder: /AWS_S3_admin/tmp/lock_logging

The tmp sub folder is a folder with 30 day retention. Amazon deletes files older than 30 days.
