13.1.2.2.3. Sample – Store & Retrieve Custom Server Files

This sample script demonstrates the Custom Server Files feature, which allows users to store and retrieve custom files, as well as reference them conveniently using a URL.

*By default, custom files are stored in the local folder on the web server, (i.e., c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dbp\TempFiles\xxx).

Configuration

The storage type and precise location are configured in the web.config file. Some settings are borrowed from the file attachment storage configuration, including AWS configuration.
