fgl_putfile()

Transfers a file from the virtual machine context to the front end context.

Syntax

fgl_putfile(
   src STRING,
   dst STRING)
  1. src is the path to the file to transmit from the virtual machine context.
  2. dst is the path to the file to write in the front end context.

Usage

The fgl_putfile() function downloads a file from the application server disk where fglrun is executed to the front-end workstation disk.

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 read critical server files, the program could transfer these files on the client workstation. On the other hand, critical files can be written on the client workstation. It is in the hands of the programmer to implement file path and/or file content restrictions in the programs using fgl_putfile().
