CHAPTER 30
File Manager
30.1 Overview
Configuration files define the NXC’s settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can store
on the NXC and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a shell script
without the NXC restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the
NXC. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the NXC.
Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.

Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the NXC uses the factory default settings for any features that
the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the NXC only applies the
commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
