Enabling Remote File Manipulation
Using Configuration Styles
You can apply a configuration style for the server to control access to directories
from public information directories. This prevents users from creating symbolic
links to information you do not want made public. For more information on
configuration files, see Chapter 15, "Applying Configuration Styles."
Enabling Remote File Manipulation
When you enable remote file manipulation, clients are able to upload files, delete
files, create directories, remove directories, list the contents of a directory, and
rename files on your server. The file
server_root
when you enable remote file manipulation. By activating these commands, you
allow remote browsers to change a server's documents. You should use access
control to restrict write access to these resources to prevent unauthorized
tampering.
Note that enabling remote file manipulations should have no effect on using
content management systems such as Microsoft Frontpage.
UNIX/Linux: You must have the correct permissions for your files or this function
will not work; that is, the document root user must be the same as the server user.
To enable remote file manipulation, follow these steps:
From the Class Manager, click the Content Management tab.
1.
Click Remote File Manipulation.
2.
Choose to activate remote file manipulation.
3.
Click OK.
