In SAS Studio, you can
create folder shortcuts from the Server Files and Folders section
in the navigation pane. You might want to create global shortcuts
for all the users at your site, so each user does not have to create
these shortcuts manually.
To create global folder
shortcuts:
-
In the config.properties
file, specify a directory path for the webdms.globalSettings property.
By default, this directory path is !SASROOT/GlobalStudioSettings.
-
In an XML editor, create
a shortcuts.xml file.
If you are trying to
create a shortcut to a network location, here is the format of the
shortcuts.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Shortcuts>
<Shortcut type="disk" name="A network location" dir="directory-path"/>
</Shortcuts>
If you are trying to
create a shortcut to an FTP location, here is the format of the shortcuts.xml
file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Shortcuts>
<Shortcut type="ftp" name="An FTP location" dir="." host="host-name"
user="user-ID" password="password"/>
</Shortcuts>
The password can be
{SAS001} or {SAS002} encoded.
-
Save the shortcuts.xml
file to the global settings directory.
