File

The File destination ships sessions to a configured filesystem path. It’s a built-in plugin identified by:

pluginID: org.aeor.xenocept.file

You configure it from the Settings UI like any other destination (see Destinations). The plugin’s pluginConfig carries the target directory path.

How Plugins Do “File Delivery”

There’s a low-level primitive plugins can use to write files:

POST /api/v1/deliver/file

The built-in File destination plugin uses this. Custom plugins can use it too if they want to write files to disk as part of their delivery flow.

What the File Destination Writes

When auto-send (or an explicit “Send” action) dispatches to the File destination, the plugin reads the session from the AeorDB store and writes the relevant files into the configured path. Manual and automatic dispatches go through the same write path, so behavior is identical between them.

If your use case is “drop sessions in a watched directory,” the File destination is the right starting point. Set it up, point it at the directory, and watch what shows up.
