Attention

TYPO3 v6 has reached its end-of-life April 18th, 2017 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is strongly recommended updating your project.

The "tce_file.php" API

This script serves as the file administration part of the TYPO3 Core Engine. It's a gateway for TCE (TYPO3 Core Engine) file-handling through POST forms. It uses \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\File\ExtendedFileUtility for the manipulation of the files.

This script is used from the File > List module where you can rename, create, delete etc. files and directories on the server.

You can send data to this file either as GET or POST vars where POST takes precedence. The variable names you can use are:

GP var name	Data type	Description
file	array	Array of file operations. See previous information about basic file functions. This could typically be a GET var like &file[delete][0][data]=[absolute file path] or a POST form field like: "<input type="text" name="file[newfolder][0][data]" value=""/> <input type="hidden" name="file[newfolder][0][target]" value="[absolute path to folder to create in]"/>"
redirect	string	Redirect URL. Script will redirect to this location after performing operations.
CB	array	Clipboard command array. May trigger changes in "file"
vC	string	Verification code
overwriteExistingFiles	boolean	If existing files should be overridden.
