Storing Files in conduit via Node-Red.

[Ajay K]

I want to store and read file(s) using the File Node in node-red, however I want to ensure the file is not lost as a result of a firmware upgrade. What is a folder that I can safely store configuration/settings files without the files being lost as a result of a firmware upgrade of the conduit.

So in the file node, what should the path look like since I am new to the whole linux directory structure?

Thanks,
Ajay.

Ajay,

There are a couple of places where files will persist through a firmware upgrade:

/dev/mtdblock6 -> /var/config -> ~7MB available
SD Card -> mounts at /media/card

A path to a file in the mtdblock6 would look something like /var/config/

A path to a file on the SD Card would look like /media/card/

Thanks Jeff for taking the time to respond and for the information provided. Especially thanks for sharing the path for the SD card as we do use the SD card and plan to use it for a custom APP.

Thanks,
Ajay
