Client side files

[JammyPear 1]

Hello,

Could someone tell me if it's possible to get the server to search the client's Arma directory and subfolders for a file?

I don't mean by designating the path to the file, I mean for the server to search the entire directory + subfolders for it.

Thanks o/

Wow, really sounds like an use case one would use to do malicious stuff :D

And yes, there are ways to do it, with native ArmA2 commands.

What you can't do is a generic recursive folder search - you must speficy the files you want to access!

I saw some servers with some scripted antihax which searches for predefined files in the arma directory because they're known to be malicious.

I do not intend to do any malicious stuff.

I do indeed intend on making an antihack script which will do a generic search in the whole directroy for a certain file which will 100% confirm that this client has cheats.

I already know how to search in the directory for a certain path. (i.e \wuat\scripts )

But that's not what I'm looking for. Thanks for answering my question o/

there is no commad for 'searching' a file

So, please tell me how your script relates to OP's request.
