Server filesystem

Note

This feature is not available on Dataiku Cloud.

You can create datasets based on files located on the DSS server itself.

Filesystem connection

Filesystem datasets are based on a Filesystem connection, which includes a “root path” for this connection. All datasets created in this connection are located within this root path.

Filesystem connections can only be created and managed by DSS administrators.

Create a filesystem dataset

From either the Flow or the datasets list, click on New dataset > Server filesystem.

Select the connection in which your files are located, then click on “Browse” to locate your files.
