JSON API Introduction

TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Internet Server provides a mechanism for navigating through the directory tree associated with a transfer user.

After you log on to TIBCO Managed File Transfer (MFT) Internet Server, a program can navigate through the TIBCO MFT Internet Server directory structure using the jsondirtree.jsp. Parameters are passed to the server in the URL and data returned is formatted into JSON. Only one level of files and directories is returned for each call.

The jsondirtree API is an http servlet call that is used to perform the following tasks:

  • List files and folders in a particular path.
  • Create a directory.
  • Delete a directory.
  • Delete a file.
  • Rename a file or directory.
Note: To use the jsondirtree API to process file structure, you must first log onto the MFT Server and be assigned TransferRight. The MFT Server uses basic authentication. Only authorized transfer requests for the authenticated user are allowed by the jsondirtree call.
