Using Files

Mobile Connect 5.0 supports secure mobile access to files through File bookmarks. File bookmarks allow secure access to files by first checking and enforcing the server configured file policy, and then securely downloading and displaying the file within the Mobile Connect application.

Server configured policies include control over whether a file can be printed, copied to the clipboard, opened in a third-party application, or securely cached on the iOS device. File bookmarks can also be created to folders or file share root directories to allow directory navigation.

In Mobile Connect for iOS 5.0, File bookmarks are supported only on the SonicWall SMA 100 Series. Support for File bookmarks in SMA 1000 Series and Next Generation Firewall appliances is expected in a future release.

When File bookmarks are configured for the user on the server appliance, they appear in the list of bookmarks after the VPN is established and can be filtered by selecting the Showing: Files row that is displayed when there are more than five bookmarks. See Showing Files bookmarks.

Showing Files bookmarks

Selecting a File bookmark queries the server and enforces any file policies configured on the server for that File bookmark. If the file is not already cached on the device, the file is securely downloaded from the SMA 100 Series. After the file is downloaded, it is displayed within the Mobile Connect application. See Downloading a file using a File bookmark.

Downloading a file using a File bookmark

Selecting a File bookmark to a folder or directory allows directory browsing, including download and viewing of any file in the folder. Each attempt to browse a file folder or view a file queries the server to enforce access policies. See Browsing folders and viewing files.

Browsing folders and viewing files

For information about supported file types and other actions you can take on files, see Files Features.
