3.2.3  Create new directory on the SIMATIC IOT2000 
The default storage path for scripts, created with the Eclipse IDE, on the SIMATIC 
IOT2000  is  the  directory  “tmp”.  The  files  present  in  this  directory,  will  be 
automatically deleted after a reset or power failure of the SIMATIC IOT2000. 
In order to avoid the loss of scripts, a new directory can be created where the files 
will be stored. 
This is only an example; the projects can be stored in other locations too. 
 
The following table shows how to create a new directory in the SIMATIC IOT2000’s 
filesystem.  
Table 3-6 
Open a valid serial Putty connection and login as root (i.e. See topic 3.3) 
Type in “cd /home” command to change the current directory to the home 
directory of filesystem, and then press the Enter key. 
Type in “mkdir <Foldername>”  to create a new directory and then press the 
Enter key (i.e mkdir ProjectFolder) 
 
 
Type in “ls” to show all directories
