Disable Local File Browsing?

Is there any way to disable file browsing within Firefox? I am configuring Firefox in a shared environment and would like to disable a user from being able to browse local storage by using: file://C:/
Is this possible?

I did see this post but I wasn't sure how it applied to the current version of Firefox. browser.jar no longer exists. I did find that omni.ja replaced browser.jar
When I extract omni.ja there are multiple browser.js files that all seem to be located within dev or test directories.
Has anyone disabled file browsing in recent builds of Firefox?

Safari 5.0 - Disable local file restrictions Option not found under Develop Menu

Hi All,
My system specs are as follows :
Platform : Linux
OS : lubuntu
OS Version : 13.10 Saucy Salamander
Browser : Safari 5.0
I need to open a html file in Safari before which I need to enable this option - "Disable local file restrictions" under Develop menu as available in Safari 7.0 for OS X Marvericks.
Problem here is I am not able to find this option in Safari 5.0, also I am not able to find any way to upgrade Safari in Linux.
Please suggest how can I activate this.

Safari->Preferences->Advance->on the bottom. To get the Debug menu which includes a listing of Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts, among other useful things, run this in the Terminal app and quit & relaunch Safari:
*defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1*

How can I disable local file access security check?

Windows 7
Firefox 3.6.16
I would like to disable the security check used for blocking access to local files.

I don't know if this is completely correct, but...
I have the NoScript extension installed. When I looked in about:config, I found an entry called:
noscript.allowLocalLinks
When I toggled this to "true," I was able to navigate via URLs to local and networked files.
When I looked it up, I found out that you can set this switch using the NoScript UI (Options|Advanced|Trusted).

How to populate DB column with filename from file browse item?

Hi,
Using APEX 3.1.2, I'm trying to easily allow maintenance of a filename stored in a DB column (VARCHAR2(1000)). Using the column as a file browse item seemed to be the way to go, but of course I don't want the resulting file to be uploaded and it appears as though an existing filename is not shown in a form when the row is retrieved.
After much searching, I found Checking filename length in File Browse item before uploading , but I'm not able to connect the dots. I was thinking that I could create a hidden file browse item and use a button to call Javascript function to activate it, then save the resulting filename to my DB column item and wipe out the hidden item before it was uploaded. But the hidden item doesn't appear, so I'm not able to reference it's form input name.
Hopefully this mess makes sense. Anyone?
Thanks!
Rich

Hi John,
From what I can tell, the path of a local file browsed from a file browse item cannot be retrieved because of security concerns. Although, it seems that while Firefox 3 only returns the filename sans directory, IE6 returns the full path:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head><title>Form Test</title>
</head><body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function GetDirectory()
strFile = document.FileForm.filename.value;
intPos = strFile.lastIndexOf("\\");
strDirectory = strFile.substring(0, intPos);
alert(strDirectory);
document.FileForm.Directory.value = strDirectory;
</script>
<form id="FileForm" name="FileForm">
<input type="file" id="filename" name="filename" value="" onChange="GetDirectory(this.value)">
<input type="hidden" id="Directory" name="Directory" value="">
</form>
</body>
</html>
This Win-specific code displays the path via IE6, but not in Firefox 3. Then again, I can't seem to preview posts here using FF3, either...

Getting the local full path name of a file from an item File Browser

Hi all,
I would like to get the local full path name, of a file selected from an item 'File browser'.
I see in wwv_flow_files the column 'name', but actually it's a kind of id like 'F1542335/myFile.gif' for example.
What i want is the local path of this file ("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\....\myFile.gif").
I hope this is possible??
Anyway, thanks all for reading.
Ludo

Hello, thank you for the answer.
Please understand that I searched before posting, and not ony 15 min.
What i mean is that the value of a File Browser in an Apex applocation is something like 'F1542335/myFile.gif', but what I need is the local path location.
And 'F1542335/' is not the local path location, i can't use it. Or maybe there is a way to convert it in a proper path name, such as "C:\Documents and Settings\....", but I don't think so.
So my question is : how to get the local path name of a file in Apex?
I'll answer if I find some good things.
Thanks
Ludo

When i drag and drop an image on my site. it gives the following error. "Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follo"

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks kumars ,
I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
"(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

Why whenn I go to local files in Muse Export it does not load the pages in my browser?

I was testing and tried to winzip the files to upload to a site (blackboard) but when I tested to view them straight from local files is not uploading in browser properly?
Urgent, help please
PS
It does look wonderful from business catalyst site. Is there any way I can download the files from Catalyst site?
This are the things I have tried:
a) export html files in to a local folder and...computer says no
b) Manage site from business catalys in dreamweaver and get the files to local site and still does not work
c) tried direct from Muse Export file and still does not work
Help please
Kind regards

Morgan, I know the files need to be untouched for an FTP upload, but this is not for an FTP upload. Blackboard it is an educational CMS to upload info for courses and it does strips the data. In order to create an interactive element to a module I can upload an HTML file to be 'living' in their host as a page and in that way it is possible to be interactive.
Sachin, I I'd export them as HTML and I have been working with them in muse, dreamweaver and embedding edible edge animate CSS and it runs well in catalyst but when I click in the local files( muse export file) it does not open well on the browser. All design is gone and only basic HTML.
Any thoughts?
Ps
I did access catalyst site via dreamweaver and downloaded all files in an other folder locally but still when I click directly in the folder HTML page it does not link on the browser

How to disable File Browse... item including browse button

Hi All,
How to disable file File Browse... item including browse button based on Apex Item Value.
thanks,
nr

Hello Trent,
>> Does the read only attribute in 4.0+ of the page item not suffice?
It all depends on your actual scenario.
If the show/hide condition is known pre-rendering, you can use the Application Builder ReadOnly attribute. In this case, the APEX engine actually creates a simple text display so the input field and the browse button will not be displayed at all (and not just grayed out). However, if you need to toggle the status of the item, like in the example, or the status depends on a user input, using the disable attribute is much simpler (If you start with ReadOnly item, you will have to create the file browse item yourself, using JavaScript, or submit/re-direct the page so it will be rendered with the file browse item).

Arie.

Link local file with browse file dialog

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a solution to hyperlink to a local file (i.e. C:/test.txt). I want that the user clicks on a "browse file" button like the file browse item. after the user selected a file or just a folder the path should be shown in a display only item. this item should be clickable...
Is it possible to create a "Browse file" dialog? I know that to link to a file is possible with some HTML tags in the "pre element text" and "post element text" fields. something like "<a href="... but I don't know how this works.
Would be happy, if u have some tipps for me ;)
Best regards
Daniel

No one an idea? Especially for the "Browse file" dialog?

An ALV Grid is not a displayed spool (this is not REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY) so the System options are not available, but look at menu List, Export or Send to (or List, Print).

Disable (Gray Out) File Browse button

To all Apex gurus,
I am facing a situation when I have a Select List Item - P2_DOCS_CATEGORY (with Display Null enabled) and a File Browse Item - P2_FILE_INPUT and I dont want end-user to be able to click on File Browse (but I want it to be visible, so disabled or grey out state would be perfect) before selecting anything from my Select List (anything but not null state, where my Null Display value is - Select Type - ).
I was trying this script in HTML Header but apperantly it doesnt work for me:
function FldEnableDisable(pThis)
if (pThis == 50)
$x('P2_FILE_INPUT').disabled=true;}
else
{ $x('P2_FILE_INPUT').disabled=false; }
} and
onChange="javascript:FldEnableDisable(this.value)" in HTML Form Element Attributes
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
My sample
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=40323:6
I have this on page HTML header
<script>
function FldEnableDisable(pThis){
if (pThis == "%null%"){
$x('P6_TEST').disabled=true;
}else{
$x('P6_TEST').disabled=false;
</script>And this in Page HTML Body Attribute
onload="$x('P6_TEST').disabled=true;"Then in item Test Lov HTML Form Element Attributes

MSS Reporting : Local File option is disabled

Hello,
We are unable to execute this MSS reporting functionality via the portal. Any suggestions ?. Thanks.
Menu>System>List>Save>Local File
The Local File option is disabled.
Regards,
Sunil

Hi,
Not sure why it got grayed out ...however you can save to local file by using list option list->export->localfile.
As well as even the system --->save ---> local file is grayed out in screens i can find above option working as well as the small icons bar also has one icon which saves to local file /spreadsheet/wordprocessor.You can use these options.
Thanks.

Disable file browsing

Hi, i have this kind of problem.
I need file chooser which will not have file browsing.
I need this for using in specific way, like open directory and collect file from there. User must not be able to change current folder in that file chooser.
I know that JFileChooser has method void setControlButtonsAreShown(boolean), but that just disables Ok and Cancel button.
Is there any way to do this?
And just to say, i can make some kind of list view with files in needed folder, but i would like to have this with same look and functionality of JFileChooser.
Thank you in advance.

For JFileChooser.getComponents() feed the array to this method:     private void hide(Component[] comps) {
          for (int i= 0; i < comps.length; i++) {
               if (comps[i] instanceof JPanel)
                    hide(((JPanel)comps).getComponents());
               else if (comps[i] instanceof JToolBar)
                    comps[i].setVisible(false);
kind regards,
Jos
ps. This idea isn't mine so I'm innocent but I do like (and use) the idea ;-)

Word 2010 to PDF hyperlink opens browser for local file...

Recently upgraded to Office 2010. I used the Save As .pdf option in Word 2010 for a file that contains a hyperlink to a local pdf file. When I open the saved pdf file with Acrobat Reader and click on the link, my default browser starts up to display the local file. I have tried using different versions of Acrobat Reader, different operating systems, and all kinds of options, but can't figure out why this is happening. I think it's a bug in Word 2010, but can't find any information about this on the web.
Does anyone have any clues?

OK, replying to my own post, I did just find a Workaround
that's only a few extra steps.....
After all edits and changes were completed in the Word file, I printed to PDF from Word,
creating a Rev A file. Once that was done and a new pdf was created, I opened the
Original File and selected "Combine" from the "File" pull down menu.
With both of the files in the same PDF document, I deleted all the pages from the
Original file. Page one of the Rev A file is now p. 1 of the "combined" file,
and all the PDF bookmarks (still there from the Original File) line up in the right
sequence. The bookmarks (produced by "Saving to PDF" with Headings 1 and 2,
when the original PDF was made) need to be re-linked to the pages in the Rev A
file, but that's quicker than starting from scratch.
Not really very elegant, but it worked. I'd be curious to know what's wrong with the
PDF files saved with bookmarks in WORD, because that happens EVERY time.
I have Acrobat Pro Extended, iteration 9.5.1
