# List SD card files

> List files on the SD card. Requires `remote-transfer` or `contents` mode.
Returns 400 if called in `remote` mode.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.yaml get /api/cameras/{cameraId}/sd-card/slot/{slotNumber}/files
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Alpha Camera REST API
  version: 3.0.0
  description: >
    RESTful control for Sony cameras — shooting, settings, live view with OSD
    overlay,

    focus control, and file transfer through a clean HTTP interface.


    Built on the Sony Camera Remote SDK. Supports USB and network camera
    connections

    with multi-camera simultaneous operation.


    ## Connection Modes


    | Mode | Description |

    |------|-------------|

    | `remote` | Full camera control: shooting, settings, live view.
    Auto-transfer images to host PC. |

    | `remote-transfer` | Camera control + explicit SD card file access. Most
    capable mode. |

    | `contents` | SD card file access only. No shooting or settings control. |


    ## Quick Start


    1. `GET /api/cameras` — discover cameras

    2. `POST /api/cameras/{id}/connection` — connect

    3. `PUT /api/cameras/{id}/priority-key` — set to `pc-remote`

    4. `PUT /api/cameras/{id}/properties/{name}` — configure settings

    5. `POST /api/cameras/{id}/actions/af-shutter` — shoot

    6. `DELETE /api/cameras/{id}/connection` — disconnect


    ## Priority Key Requirement


    The camera's priority key **must** be set to `pc-remote` before it accepts
    any

    remote property changes or shooting commands.

        human-readable reason.
