Direct URI to files in staging

Garth McMillan

Bit of an interesting one here. We have a need to access the raw (unaltered) files on the TeamSite server, via a http request.

We've previously been fine accessing files under "iw-admin" via this method, but we now have a need to access files under "default". Unfortunately, I can't seem to access them via the same method.

For example "http://{teamsite server}/iw-mount/iwadmin/main/{branch}/STAGING/templatedata/path/to/file.xml" is accessible (when the request is an authorized TeamSite user), however, "http://{teamsite server}/iw-mount/default/main/{branch}/STAGING/templatedata/path/to/file.xml" is not acccessible.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

What error message(s) are you getting?
The URI should work just the same - the issue is probably with respect to permissions.
Check the permissions on the directories leading all the ay to the desired file.
Check the permissions on the file itself.
It's a bit tricky because the permissions in staging and editions aren't always as they seem to appear - in that you might see something that indicates it can be written / modified, but in truth it cannot - the IFS prevents that from happening - however that should be the same as what you'd see // experience within the iwadmin branch.
