New Remote SERVER FILE functions and commands

Terminal · **Posted:** Thu Jan 10, 2008 1:32 am

These are included in DSO 0.73 and on.

Note: Both owners of domain names, and SUBOWNERS of domain names have privileges to use these functions. You can add or remove subowners with the subowners command.

$v = SeverFileCount(domain)
This returns the number of files that exist on the server's file system. (This does not include scripts uploaded to ports of that server)

$v = ServerFileName(filenumber)
This returns the filename of the specified file number. See the remotedir.ds example below to lean how this works.

$v = ServerFileDelete(domain, filename)
Delete the specified file on the specified domain name.

$v = ServerFileDownload(domain, filename)
Download the file directly into the variable.

$v = ServerFileUpload(domain, filename)
Update a file directly to the remote file system.

REMOTEUPLOAD domain filename -- upload a file to a domain.
REMOTEDIR domain -- list files on a domain
REMOTEDELETE domain filename -- delete a file from a domain

Here is an example of a script which lists files on the remote file system of your domain name. It is embedded in future releases of DSO.

remotedir.ds

Code:

SAY Correct usage: REMOTEDIR [domain]{lgreen}
SAY DOWNLOADING files on $1{green}

$j=serverfilecount($1)
waitfor $j

FOR $o = 1 to $j

   $fname=serverfilename($1,$o)
   waitfor $fname
   say File $o is $fname

NEXT 

SAY File List Complete.

Here is an example of how to delete a file on a remote file system.

remotedelete.ds

Code:

SAY Usage: REMOTEDELETE [domain] [filename]{lgreen}
SAY Deleting $2 on $1...{green}
$j=serverfiledelete($1,$2)
waitfor $j
SAY $j

In the later example, what would $j contain if the delete was successfull or if it failed? 0 and 1?

isn't serverfiledownload kinda redundant?
and also, do these work for everyone or just the owner?

ServerFileDownload might be a tad redundant.

These work for the owner and subowners of a domain.

I'll be thinking about how to implement this.

If you want users to interact with the server in such a way, set them as SUBOWNER.
