H5 Scripting - How to get the list of the files located on a server

Legacy Contributor

Hi all.

I'm new to H5 development. I'm trying to list some of the files located on a given directory / server in a new window (user clicks on a button => window opens with a list of files).

Is it possible to do it in a H5 .js script ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Listing files on a server comes with a security risk and by default such actions are disabled by default by web servers, for example IIS.

There is no endpoint that will list files on a server in H5. You can open a file dialog in the browser to select local files and if you have a file share you can select from those but not "located on a server" if you mean like the H5 M3 server.

Generally you can use "<input type="file"> to get the file selector but you should be using the Infor control for the version of H5 that you are using but that is for file upload to an API and not for getting list of files on a server.
