Hi Kinjal!

You can use directory listing request:

curl -H 'application-id : xxx' -H 'secret-key : xxx' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X GET https://api.backendless.com/v1/files/path_to_folder

The same opportunity added in latest versions of Backendless SDKs (method Backendless.Files.listing()).

Kate.

Hello,
when i call that url,in response i got this object

{“data”:[{“name”:“testdata.txt”,“createdOn”:1448975915000,“publicUrl”:“https://api.backendless.com/A5783DA2-3CAB-4216-FF9E-CAF73B443700/v1/files/test/testdata.txt",“size”:1024,“url”:“test/testdata.txt”}],“totalObjects”:1,"offset”:0}

in it only i can see ‘createdOn’ created time. when i update this file at time its not changed. i need modification time too. is this possible?

Thanks kinjal.

In what way you update this file?
Currently server side not support modification time.
We will discuss this idea with development team.

6

see i am updating directly through console or want to upload same file again so file will overwrite and we can get modification time.

Kinjal,

We do not support versioning of files - you cannot have multiple versions of the same file in the file storage.
