Read File
Category: Unix/Linux System
This activity allows you to read a file from a remote Unix/Linux target. The contents of the file will be made available as a string, as well as the file’s name and path.
Hints
- This activity does not return a
File
that you can use with activities likeUpload File
. It returns the contents of the file as a string. - The
Local File Name
input tells the activity which file to read on the remote system. This can either be a relative path based on the user’s home directory (filename.txt
) or an absolute path (/etc/something/filename.txt
).
