- Users have access only to their space, and nothing else.

- Support of english and french languages.

Scheduler Job
A provided scheduler job can be scheduled to automatically remove any non-Admin attachment older than 2 months.
After installation of the xar, you need to go in the Scheduler space to enable this feature (i.e schedule the according job)
If you want to save any file attached to a page, create an object of class 'FTPCode.KeeperClass' inside (you need to use the object edit mode).
Prerequisites & Installation Instructions
We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.
You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:
- Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
- Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
- Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
- Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
- You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki
Prerequisites
- Filesystem Storage needs to be enabled.
- This application needs the Encryption Application to be installed to safely store the users. password inside a wiki page.
