New directory:
A Directory Association is a path that defines the directories and/or files that a particular user
or group can access via the HTTP (Web) Server on the NetLinx Master. This character string
can range from 1 to 128 alpha-numeric characters. This string is case sensitive. This is the path
to the file or directory you want to grant access. Access is limited to the user (i.e. doc:user)
directory of the master. All subdirectories of the user directory can be granted access.
A single '/' is sufficient to grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's
sub-directory. The '*' wildcard can also be added to enable access to all files. All entries should
start with a '/'. Here are some examples of valid entries:
By default, all accounts that enable HTTP Access are given a '/*' Directory Association if no
other Directory Association has been assigned to the account.
When you are prompted to enter the path for a Directory Association, the NetLinx Master will
attempt to validate the path. If the directory or file is not valid (i.e. it does not exist at the time
you entered the path), the NetLinx Master will ask you whether you were intending to grant
