File transfer messages - AWS Wickr

This guide provides documentation for Wickr IO Integrations. If you're using AWS Wickr, see AWS Wickr Administration Guide.

File transfer messages

The msgtype for file transfer messages is 6000. This message type contains information about a file transfer message. The "file" JSON object contains the details of the file being transferred, described in this table:

Field Description

filename

The display name of the file being transferred.

guid

A unique identifier for the transferred file.

uploadedbyuser

The user who uploaded the file

uploadedtimestamp

Upload time

localfilename

The full path name of the file on the Wickr IO Gateway system.

Files received by the Wickr IO client will be decrypted and remain on the Wickr IO client until removed by your software.

The files sent for screen shots will be identified by a isscreenshot key value pair, in the "file" object. This is a Boolean value, where true identifies the file as a screenshot. If the isscreenshot key is not found then the file is not a screen shot.
