Remixd: Access your Local Filesystem
|
||
6 years ago
|
=========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`remixd` is an npm module. Its purpose is to give the remix web
|
||
|
|
application access to a folder on your local computer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The code of `remixd` is
|
||
|
|
[here](https://github.com/ethereum/remixd) .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`remixd` can be globally installed using the following command:
|
||
|
|
`npm install -g remixd`
|
||
|
|

|
Or just install it in the directory of your choice by removing the -g flag:
|
||
|
6 years ago
|
`npm install remixd`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
6 years ago
|
Then from the terminal, the command `remixd -s <absolute-path-to-the-shared-folder> --remix-ide <your-remix-ide-URL-instance>` will start `remixd` and will share the given folder with remix-ide.

For example, to use remixd with Remix IDE ( and not the alpha version) use this command:
|
||
|
6 years ago
|
`remixd -s <absolute-path-to-the-shared-folder> --remix-ide https://remix.ethereum.org`

Make sure that if you use https://remix.ethereum.org (secure http) in the remixd command (like in the example above), that you are also pointing your browser to https://remix.ethereum.org and not to http://remix.ethereum.org (plain old insecure http). Or if you want to use http in the browser use http in the remixd command.

The folder is shared using a websocket connection between `Remix IDE`
|
||
|
|
and `remixd`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Be sure the user executing `remixd` has read/write permission on the
|
||
|
|
folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is an option to run remixd in read-only mode, use `--read-only` flag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Warning!**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`remixd` provides `full read and write access` to the given folder for `any
|
||
|
|
application` that can access the `TCP port 65520` on your local host.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From `Remix IDE`, in the Plugin Manager you need to activate the remixd plugin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A modal dialog will ask confirmation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Accepting this dialog will start a session.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you do not have `remixd` running in the background - another modal will open up and it will say:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Cannot connect to the remixd daemon.
|
||
|
|
Please make sure you have the remixd running in the background.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assuming you don't get the 2nd modal, your connection to the remixd daemon is successful. The shared folder will be available in the file explorer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**When you click the activation of remixd is successful - there will NOT be an icon that loads in the icon panel.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Click the File Explorers icon and in the swap panel you should now see the folder for `localhost`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Click on the `localhost connection` icon:
