CFN3 File System
15 – CFN3 File System
The CFN3 file system is compatible with NT version 4.0 and greater. This
chapter is a basic introduction to files and the Site Controller file system. It
contains the information you need to use files on the Site Controller, but it is not
an exhaustive study of NT or MS-DOS
® -type file system the Site Controller
uses. For more complete information about NT or MS-DOS file system, refer to
one of the many books available about NT or MS-DOS.
The Site Controller files reside in a directory called SC3 on the C: drive of your
PC (C:\SC3\). To check the files use the following command in the SCIII
command window:
P* dir C:\SC3\
A listing of the file will scroll on the screen. You can not change drives from the
P* prompt but you can view other drives and their directories.
To check the drive with NT, use Windows NT Explorer.
1 Click once on the Start button with the left mouse button.
2 From the menu displayed, click once on Programs.
3 Click once on Windows NT Explorer. A window will open.
4 Double click on the C: drive.
5 From the folders listed, double click on SC3. The contents will appear on the
righthand side of the window.
What Is a CFN3 File
A CFN3 file is a collection of data stored on a disk and given a filename. A file
can contain:
• a program you can execute
• a set of Site Controller commands you can execute as a group
• data you want to store, such as backup system data, printouts of sales or
other information, or hand-entered data or messages.
Filename Restrictions
Filenames for CFN3 files follow the NT or MS-DOS conventions. Names can
be eight characters long, plus a three-character extension. The name and
extension are separated by a period.
