Restrict Files Access

Configure userdata_hidden.properties

By default, Sahi Pro's file manipulation APIs like _readFile,_writeFile,_deleteFile,_renameFile,_copyFileetc. have access to all the files on the file system. This can be restricted to only specific directories by configuring the property file.accessible.dir in <sahi_root>/userdata/config/userdata_hidden.properties file.

// Use wildcard '*' to provide access to all the files.
file.accessible.dir=*;   // By default, Sahi Pro has access to all the files.

// Restrict Sahi Pro's access to only the files inside example directory and its sub-directories.
file.accessible.dir=D:/testing/example;   // Must use '\\' or '/' as file path separator.

// Restrict SahiPro's access to only the files inside Sahi Pro's default scripts directory and its sub-directories.
file.accessible.dir=userdata/scripts;   // The path here is relative to Sahi Pro installation directory

// Provide access to multiple directories by separating multiple directories with semi-colon.
// Restrict Sahi Pro's access to only the files inside 'scripts directory and its sub-directories' and 'example directory and its sub-directories'.
file.accessible.dir=userdata/scripts; D:/example;

// Restrict Sahi Pro's access to only the script directories configured in Sahi Pro.
file.accessible.dir=$scripts.dir;
