Masking file names in packages
For security reasons, you may want to mask the names of files in your packages so that the original file names are not visible in the Faspex UI or in logs.
Faspex performs obfuscation when:
- A user initiates a transfer through Connect.
- A user initiates a transfer through the HTTP Gateway.
- A user initiates a transfer from a remote source (file storage on tethered nodes).
If enabled, Faspex obfuscates the file names of all uploaded files. In the case of a directory file structure, Faspex also obfuscates the folder name, the names of all files within the folder, and the names and files of any nested directories.
Faspex does not mask the file extensions of files. For example, after masking, a file with the .txt extension may be named Nqu7ORqTEC2R9GHK8ISFw.txt.
Note: File name masking in Faspex is irreversible.
