When you do any of the above actions, a new dialog titled, Create New Remote File will be displayed.

File Name
Specify a name for the file that you would like to create.

Create
Clicking this button will create (or try to create) the file that you have specified and closes the Create New Local File dialog.

Cancel
Clicking this button discards your input and closes the Create New Remote File dialog.

Help
Clicking this button displays this help topic.

Tip In the File Name field, you may enter absolute or relative (to the working directory) path names. Below are a few examples assuming your current working directory is set to /wd

Example 1
Entering sample.txt would create a file named, sample.txt in the current working directory, /wd.

Example 2
Entering subdir\sample.txt would create a file named, sample.txt in the directory /wd/subdir. The directory subdir must exist in order for the file creation to be successful.

Example 3
Entering /temp/sample.txt would create a file named, sample.txt in the directory, /temp. The directory /temp must exist in order for the file creation to be successful.
