This is an external library function (See External Library Guide). When parameter serverFolder is a relative path, it is relative to the current working directory; when it is preceded by a slash sign (/), it is an absolute path. When the parameter is absent, the comma must be retained. If the parameter is an empty string or is absent, the folder path is relative to the current working directory.
When parameter localFolder is a relative path, it is relative to the path configured in esProc Options -> Main directory. When the parameter is absent, the comma must be retained. If the parameter is an empty string or is absent, the folder path is relative to the path configured in esProc Options -> Main directory.
