Sambar Server Documentation

Document Manager
Pro Server Only


Overview
The Sambar Server Pro includes a Document Manager interface which allow the server administrator (or, if WebDAV is enabled, any user) to remotely maintain the content of the server. From a web browse, the Document Manager interfaces allow:

  • Create/delete/update a server file within the Documents Directory
  • Create/delete a directory within the Documents Directory
  • Upload "most recently changed" files to another server via FTP, preserving the directory structure
  • Query all documents in a "directory tree" for one or more terms.
  • Version control of files (if WebDAV is enabled)

Below is a sample of the Document Manager browser interface. Clicking on the icon to the left of the file displays the file in your browser; clicking on the folder icon changes to the selected directory.

Important: The interface displayed below illustrates the Content Versioning functionality enabled when WebDAV is enabled. This interface is available from the /sysuser/docmgr/ forms. To restrict usage to this interface and prevent possible abuse, make sure to set your admin account password and secure the System Administrator IP in the config/config.ini to those computers which you will use to access the server with. For added security, you should change the System Administrator account to a user other than admin. Finally, when WebDAV is enabled, user accounts have access to these same forms. To modify content, users must have READWRITE FTP priviledges on the directory (from the config/passwd file). Further per-user access controls can be enforced via security.ini or .htaccess policies.
