Uploading and Deleting files

To upload a file to a writable space, use a PUT or POST request. To delete a file, use a DELETE request. You can delete a directory only if it does not contain any entries. If you try to delete a non-empty directory, the request fails with a 400 error.

Enabling Web Access

Non-writable spaces such as logs cannot be made writable.

Examples:

fileserver.enabled.spaces = all
fileserver.enabled.spaces = logs(rl) localconfig(rl)
fileserver.enabled.spaces = localconfig landingarea

By default the top level at http://server:port/files/ cannot be listed. To allow a listing of available spaces, add fileserver.listable = true to director.properties.

Runtime Configuration

To enable configuration of the file server at runtime, add:

fileserver.dynamic = true

to director.properties. You can then control the set of enabled spaces and the global listable flag using the MBean with name:

edq:component=System,name=FileServer

and web path:

http://server:port/edq/management/mbeans/System/FileServer

The MBean is web enabled and can be read and written using the REST APIs. See REST API for MBeans for more information. For example, to set the list of spaces, use a payload like:

{ "operation": "setEnabledSpaces",
  "arguments": ["wlslogs(rl) baseconfig(l)"]
}
