This module provides REST web services for the FolderShare module. This enables users to use non-browser client applications to upload, download, create, delete, and modify shared files and folders managed by FolderShare.
Uses
While a web browser provides interactive access to a web site, REST web services enable automatic scripted access as well as alternate client applications that may present customized user interfaces. For instance, the included command-line REST client provides a shell-like interface and Linux/BSD/macOS-style commands to access shared files (e.g. "ls", "cp", "rm"). This command-line client can be used interactively, or embedded in shell scripts that compute or process data and automatically post results to a web site.
