Upload Endpoint
The endpoint provides a complete RESTful API for FileMaker developers:
- Upload Files - Send files directly from FileMaker to WordPress with secure HMAC-SHA256 authentication
- List Folders - Retrieve complete directory structures with file sizes and metadata
- Delete Files - Remove individual files with protection against system files
- Delete Folders - Remove empty folders programmatically
- Download Files - Trigger downloads through the API for integration workflows
- Flexible Destinations - Target uploads, wp-content, or WordPress root directory
### API Features
- Secure Authentication - HMAC-SHA256 signature verification on all requests
- Directory Management - Recursive scanning with full path information and file metadata
- Path Traversal Prevention - Security checks prevent unauthorized directory access
- System File Protection - Restricted file list prevents deletion of critical files (wp-config.php, index.php, .htaccess)
- Debug Mode - Detailed logging and diagnostic reports for integration troubleshooting
- Configurable Endpoint - Customizable URL slug and security settings
- JSON Responses - Clean, structured responses for easy integration with FileMaker calculations
### Requirements
✓ CWP Snippets Pro plugin installed on WordPress
✓ FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Go
✓ Basic understanding of FileMaker scripts and HTTP requests
✓ Ability to generate HMAC-SHA256 signatures in FileMaker
### Security
All requests are protected by HMAC-SHA256 signatures using a configurable security key. The endpoint validates:
- Request signatures against your secret key (never transmitted in URLs)
- File paths to prevent directory traversal attacks
- Filenames against a blacklist of protected system files
- Request parameters for valid values and safe operations
- Timestamps for request validity and replay prevention
