Attachments

Attachments are a way to allow your calendar Users to upload and attach binary files or put additional URLs on calendar events. You should only allow trusted people to upload attachment files.

Enable Attachments & Attachment Upload Directory

If Enable Attachments is set to Yes, then Users will be able to upload files and attach them to calendar events. You can attach things like permission forms, medical releases, document packages, as well as additional URLs.

Uploaded files are stored in the Attachment Upload Directory. The files are each given a unique name at the time they are created. You need to make sure that the connectDaily service has write permissions to the specified directory. If you would like to move uploaded files, copy the .UPL files from the default directory to the new directory. You need to make sure that the process the servlet engine runs under has sufficient rights to read, create, and delete files from that directory.

When you upload a file, connectDaily will check to see if it exists in the repository. If it does, each calendar event will contain a reference to one file.

Anti-Virus Command

This optional value specifies a command to scan uploaded files for viruses. A sample command would be:

C:\AV\SCAN.EXE /REPORT "{1}" /SECURE "{0}"

{0} is replaced with the name of the file to scan, and {1} is an optional report file name for the scanner output.

If the exit value of the process is non-zero, the file is treated as infected and deleted. Any data written to the report file or to standard out is displayed to the User.

While it is not required that you use a virus scanner, we recommend it.
