File Management

Files are binary attachments linked to individual rows. Each file has an auto-incremented ID, original filename, content type, and size.

Note: File upload via CLI is not yet supported because it requires multipart form-data. Use the web UI or direct API calls for uploads.

List Files for a Row

frontline object file list <object> <row-id>
frontline table file list <table> <row-id>

Returns an array of file objects with id, originalName, contentType, size, and createdAt.

Get File Metadata

frontline object file get <object> <file-id>
frontline table file get <table> <file-id>

Download a File

# Download to current directory (uses original filename)
frontline object file download <object> <file-id>

# Download to a specific path
frontline object file download <object> <file-id> --output ./contracts/proposal.pdf
frontline table file download <table> <file-id> --output ./data/report.xlsx

Delete a File

frontline object file delete <object> <file-id>
frontline table file delete <table> <file-id>
