Cannot access file JST-310042 Access to file is forbidden

[johanna_m]

I have a simple javascript code, trying to access folder files

var path = "C:\\Processing\\"
var directory = new File(path)
var files = directory.list("*.*")
vars.feedCount = files.length

I am getting a forbidden error

Hi Johanna,

This code is working on my side.

I think that you must control the rights granted to this folder.

Thanks,

Geoffrey.

There was a change in 8947 on file access for new installations.

It also states option  XtkSecurity_Disable_JSFileSandboxing to disable new handling

See https://docs.campaign.adobe.com/doc/AC/en/RN.html

[david--garcia · Accepted solution]

By default this option is not available OOTB, you must navigate to  Administration\Platform\Options and create the option, set the data type to integer and the value to 1. This will allow you to access files from folders outside the permitted folders (var,sftp temp)

As per documentation https://docs.campaign.adobe.com/doc/AC/en/INS_Appendices_Configuring_Campaign_options.html

XtkSecurity_Disable_JSFileSandboxing

If 1 is selected, this option disable the file sandboxing withing Javascript.

Hi,

If you want to keep the sandboxing while also allowing access to that folder, set <dataStore extraSandboxedDirectories="C:\Processing"/> in instance conf:
