# File Plugin

## Terms:

**Repository:** A directory containing a Manifest and file tree.

**Manifest:** A *metadata* file containing references to files within the directory tree to be included in the repository.  

Format: \<relative path\>, \<sha256 digest\>, optional \<size\>.

## Use Cases

As a user I can CRUD file importer. \[done\]

As a user I can CRUD file publisher. \[done\]

As as user, I want to synchronize file repositories by specifying a feed url that points to a manifest. \[done\]

  - Support *sync-policy*: mirror only \[[#3336](https://pulp.plan.io/issues/3336)\]

  - Support http/https and file (local filesystem)

As a user, I want to publish file repositories.

  - Incremental not supported.

  - When the repository includes multiple files with the same path (but different digest), the publisher will add only the newest content unit in the publication. \[[#3337](https://pulp.plan.io/issues/3337)\]

As a user, I can upload content to a repository. \[done\]

As a user, I can distribute a file publication so that it can be synced/downloaded. \[done\]

## Future Roadmap

As a user, I want to support signed files.
