File System Action

Use the File System Action step to perform operations on files, directories, and other items using either direct file access or Robot File System (RFS).

The step offers operations on three levels:

• Device level actions have no context and are fully controlled by parameters.
• Application level actions operate on the directory level, where each directory is represented by an application.
• Component level actions operate on a file or directory represented by an <item> node in the device tree.

The available commands function identically on any level they occur but differ in the number of parameters.

The following sections describe the available actions, the common properties they use, and how to work with directories, file objects, and error handling.
