Transfers a file from the front end workstation to the
application server machine.
Syntax
FGL_GETFILE(
src STRING,
dst STRING )
- src contains the name of the source file to retrieve
from the front end workstation.
- dst contains the name of the file to write on the
server side.
Usage
The FGL_GETFILE() function uploads a file from the front-end
workstation disk to the application server disk where fglrun is executed.
Important: Using this function can result in a security hole if you
allow the end user to specify the file paths without control.
There is not limitation on the file content or file paths: If the user executing
the application on the server side is allowed to write critical server files,
the program could transfer files from the client workstation and overwrite
critical server files. On the other hand, critical files can be read from the
client workstation and copied on the application server. It is in the hands of
the programmer to implement file path and/or file content restrictions in the
programs using FGL_GETFILE().
