Create an FTP Shortcut to Access Repository Files in SAS Studio

If you are using the Repository Toolkit Appliance, you want to create an FTP folder shortcut to your repository so that you can edit the repository’s XML files directly in SAS Studio.

This example creates a shortcut called My Sample Repository. This shortcut points to the files that you downloaded as part of the Repository Toolkit Appliance.

In the navigation pane, click Server Files and Folders. Click and select Folder Shortcut. The New Folder Shortcut window appears.
Specify a name for the shortcut, such as My Sample Repository.
From the Folder type drop-down list, select FTP Folder.
Enter the host name that appears on the SAS Studio Repository Toolkit Configuration screen. In this example, the host name is my-repository.
Enter the studio as the user ID and Power2no! as the password.
In the Directory box, enter ~/Repository.
Click Test to verify that your information is correct.
Click Save.

My Sample Repository now appears in your list of folder shortcuts. If you expand this folder, you see that it contains several directories.
