<title>File Repository and Sharing</title>

<abstract>While a protocol has been described for initiating a file transfer from one user to another, there is not yet a way for users to designate a set of files as available for retrieval by other users of their choosing. This extension fills that functionality, with additional features such as file versioning, multiple download mirrors across several internet protocols, collaborative modification of the file listing, and all the other benefits of Pubsub.</abstract>

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>Describes how a Jabber user may find and retrieve files which other Jabber users have published. The listing of files is done through a Pubsub (XEP-0060) server, allowing multiple users to manage the same listing. Other features include file metadata, revisions, and download mirrors.</p>
|
|
<p>Retrieval of the files provided in the listing MAY be performed through any relevant protocol for transferring data (http, ftp, etc), but this protocol emphasizes the use of Stream Initiation (XEP-0137) to establish the connection.</p>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'>
|
|
<p>The protocol defined herein provides the following functionality:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Publication of a list of available files to a Pubsub server, with tree structure, file metadata, user permissions, and file versioning.</li>
|
|
<li>Request that a file be sent from a Jabber contact directly to oneself using Stream Initiation.</li>
|
|
</ol>

<tr><th>Subsection</th><td>Non-Root Collection Node which containts files and/or other subsections.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>File</th><td>Pubsub Node, stored within a File Listing, which describes all revisions of a given file. The filename and (optionally) description are provided here.</td></tr>

<p>The following use cases describe tasks which are already covered by XEP-0060 in a more generic context. These tasks are explicitly described in order to demonstrate the wide range of capabilities afforded by this system and convey the data structure of the file listing itself. Consult XEP-0060 for the full range of node and user management commands as well as their server responses.</p>

<p>The Item ID is set to 1, signifying the first revision for this file. Subsequent revisions/items will have incremented ID values, like one would see in a versioning system such as CVS or SVN. Implementations MAY follow this convention, but are not required to do so. For example, a given implementation may instead mark revisions using version numbers ("Beta 1", "6.2", etc) or use other arbitrary strings. However, no two revisions of a given file may share the same ID.</p>

|
|
<tr><th>Modified</th><td>The last modified time of the revision. Follows the format described in XEP-0082. If a publisher prefers to only make a single revision available to clients, the publisher MAY instead update this value (and others, such as size and/or checksum) to announce that a new version of the file is available.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Checksum</th><td>A checksum of the revision, using the specified hash algorithm. Acceptable types are "sha512", "sha1", "md5", and "crc32".</td></tr>

<tr><th>Mime</th><td>The file's MIME type.</td></tr>
|
|

<p>The Description field is where an arbitrary description of the mirror MAY be placed. For example, if a File Listing is advertising mirrors which are located in different geographic locations, then this field may be used to specify those locations.</p>
|
|
<p>The Ref field is a unique identifier which is used to request the file from the mirror server. In the above examples, it is used as a path to the file.</p>
|
|
<p>The address and port fields describe where the file may be retrieved using the specified protocol. If a port is not provided, the default value (specified in parentheses) is assumed.</p>
|
|
<p>The User and Pass fields are for providing credentials which, if given by the File Listing, SHOULD be used when requesting the file. For example, an sftp mirror MAY require that the user log in using specified credentials before the file may be retrieved.</p>

<p>Juliet has uploaded a copy of her revised sonnet to a new mirror, and wishes to let her subscribers know about this secondary source. She is able to do this by modifying the revision in question to include a reference to her website, overwriting the existing mirrors in the Item with an updated list:</p>

<section1 topic='Implementation Notes' anchor='impl'>
|
|
<p>Since Pubsub is used for the File Listing, the access models described in XEP-0060 MUST be followed. Users MUST NOT be able to view or control information in the File Listing to which they do not have access.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Node IDs MAY take the form of "path/to/file.ext", rather than the randomized strings provided in the above use cases. For example, Juliet's sonnet MAY use a Node ID of "juliets_sonnets/sonnet.txt" rather than "a6190c5d38e22452041d1c5798eff3f5", as long as this ID is unique to the PubSub server. Randomized strings were used in order to explicitly illustrate that Node IDs SHOULD NOT be depended upon for storing information about files.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The "sipub" mirror type MUST be implemented by the client, while the other mirror types are entirely OPTIONAL, and are provided only as examples for custom client implementations which desire use of common protocols which are currently incompatible with SI requests.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If user access to files is restricted, the mirror servers and the File Listing server MUST be able to synchronize these restrictions between them. See <link url='#security'>Security Considerations</link>.</p>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
|
|
<p>When restricted files are being distributed, mirrors need to know which users have permission to access which files. If mirrors are not provided this information by the File Listing (or some other entity), unauthorized users could request files from mirrors directly, thus bypassing any such restrictions.</p>
