File Explorer
OS Independant and Secure File Management for Web Applications
Introduction
The File Exchange container allows Trust1Connector to manage files and directories, to upload or download files to/from the filesystem from/to the requesting party (especially for web application). The user of the device must give a consent prior of file operations.
The File Explorer exposes a controlled and secured abstraction for file operations.
The File Exchange container provides the following functionalities:
selecting a folder based on application type
listing files in selected application type
downloading one or more files into selected application type
uploading one or more files from the selected application type
creating sub directories in 'mapped' folders (application types)
The Trust1Connector does NOT allow the deletion of folders or files residing on the user's device.
An application type resolves locally to an absolute file system path.
An application can create additional folders for a given application type, those folders are relative to the absolute path which has been locally mapped on the application type. This means that the web application can ask the user to create subdirectories in an application type which has been already mapped.
The File Exchange container provides additionally:
optional user notification for file transfer completion
copy and move files between application types
user consent to allow the consuming application to perform file operations
application/domain scoped, application types are bound to the application domain
OS native files and directory chooser dialogs
