1.INTRODUCTION
1.1. INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVE
Now a day’s sharing important files are very risky. So we have created a hybrid
solution for file storage on cloud. This is an advanced system where User 1 can select
a file from his phone and enter a key for that file. For Uploading the File is broken in
2 separate chunks and these chunks are encrypted by AES and DES algorithm
respectively and then they are stored on cloud server side. Then user 1 selects another
user with whom he will share the file with. User 2 receives and SMS with Encrypted
key. We will use Blowfish algorithm for key Encryption.
User 2 will login into the application using his credentials. On the Home page he can
view all the files shared with him. When user tries to access them, application will
check for the SMS automatically, and if encrypted SMS from the User 1 was found,
Application will start the decryption process. For decryption both the encrypted files
are decrypted one by one and then merged together.

1.2. PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

File Security System application we mainly show’s that how to store the file with
security using Encryption algorithms. The user will login to the application by
giving a valid email id of whom the file security key must be sent. After
successful login the user will upload the file the file will encrypt and stored in the
given path and security key sent to given mail id.The user will download the
decrypted file by giving security key which is received in user mail id.

1.3. EXISTING SYSTEM & DISADVANTAGES

In previous applications there we need to store the file in the database and
Encrypt the file. Storing the file in the database is not secure so to overcome the
Existing system.

1.4. PROPOSED SYSTEM & ITS DISADVANTAGES

The proposed System user can share the files with multiple users at a time.
Users will have at most security in this project using AES Algorithm as a
result users can encrypt the files and share to other registered users.
we will not store the file in the database so there is no issue in unsecure of a file.
The person who is having decryption key must also have the encrypted file .

 2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1 STUDY OF THE SYSTEM
To provide flexibility to the users, the interfaces have been developed that are accessible
through a browser. The GUI’S at the top level have been categorized as

1. Administrative user interface

2. The operational or generic user interface

The ‘administrative user interface’ concentrates on the consistent information that is

practically, part of the organizational activities and which needs proper authentication for the
data collection. These interfaces help the administrators with all the transactional states like
Data insertion, Data deletion and Date updation along with the extensive data search
capabilities.

The ‘operational or generic user interface’ helps the end users of the system in transactions
through the existing data and required services. The operational user interface also helps the
ordinary users in managing their own information in a customized manner as per the included
flexibilities

2.2 INPUT & OUTPOUT REPRESENTETION

Input design is a part of overall system design. The main objective during the input design is
as given below:
• To produce a cost-effective method of input.
• To achieve the highest possible level of accuracy.
• To ensure that the input is acceptable and understood by the user.

INPUT STAGES:
The main input stages can be listed as below:
• Data recording
• Data transcription
• Data conversion
• Data verification
• Data control

2
INPUT TYPES:
It is necessary to determine the various types of inputs. Inputs can be categorized as follows:
• External inputs, which are prime inputs for the system.
• Internal inputs, which are user communications with the system.
• Operational, which are computer department’s communications to the system?
• Interactive, which are inputs entered during a dialogue.

INPUT MEDIA:
At this stage choice has to be made about the input media. To conclude about the
input media consideration has to be given to;
• Type of input
• Flexibility of format
• Speed
• Accuracy
• Verification methods
• Rejection rates
• Ease of correction
• Storage and handling requirements
• Security
• Easy to use
• Portability
Keeping in view the above description of the input types and input media, it can be said that
most of the inputs are of the form of internal and interactive. As
Input data is to be the directly keyed in by the user, the keyboard can be considered to be the
most suitable input device.
OUTPUT DESIGN:

In general are:
• External Outputs whose destination is outside the organization.
• Internal Outputs whose destination is with in organization and they are the User’s
main interface with the computer. Outputs from computer systems are required
primarily to communicate the results of processing to users. They are also used to
provide a permanent copy of the results for later consultation. The various types of
outputs

3
OUTPUT DEFINITION
The outputs should be defined in terms of the following points:
▪ Type of the output
▪ Content of the output
▪ Format of the output
▪ Location of the output
▪ Frequency of the output
▪ Volume of the output
▪ Sequence of the output

It is not always desirable to print or display data as it is held on a computer. It should be

decided as which form of the output is the most suitable.

For Example
• Will decimal points need to be inserted
• Should leading zeros be suppressed.

OUTPUT MEDIA:
In the next stage it is to be decided that which medium is the most appropriate for the output.
The main considerations when deciding about the output media are:

• The suitability for the device to the particular application.

• The need for a hard copy.
• The response time required.
• The location of the users
• The software and hardware available.

Keeping in view the above description the project is to have outputs mainly coming
under the category of internal outputs. The main outputs desired according to the requirement
specification are:

The outputs were needed to be generated as a hard copy and as well as queries to be viewed
on the screen. Keeping in view these outputs, the format for the output is taken from the
outputs, which are currently being obtained after manual processing. The standard printer is
to be used as output media for hard copies.

SDLC is nothing but Software Development Life Cycle. It is a standard which is used by
software industry to develop good software.

Stages in SDLC:
 Requirement Gathering
 Analysis
 Designing
 Coding
 Testing
 Maintenance
Requirements Gathering stage:

The requirements gathering process takes as its input the goals identified in the high-
level requirements section of the project plan. Each goal will be refined into a set of one or
more requirements. These requirements define the major functions of the intended
application, define
5
 These requirements are fully described in the primary deliverables for this stage: the
Requirements Document and the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM). The requirements
document contains complete descriptions of each requirement, including diagrams and
references to external documents as necessary. Note that detailed listings of database tables
and fields are not included in the requirements document.
The title of each requirement is also placed into the first version of the RTM, along with
the title of each goal from the project plan. The purpose of the RTM is to show that the
product components developed during each stage of the software development lifecycle are
formally connected to the components developed in prior stages.
In the requirements stage, the RTM consists of a list of high-level requirements, or
goals, by title, with a listing of associated requirements for each goal, listed by requirement
title. In this hierarchical listing, the RTM shows that each requirement developed during this
stage is formally linked to a specific product goal. In this format, each requirement can be
traced to a specific product goal, hence the term requirements traceability.
The outputs of the requirements definition stage include the requirements document, the
RTM, and an updated project plan.
 Feasibility study is all about identification of problems in a project.
 No. of staff required to handle a project is represented as Team Formation, in this case
only modules are individual tasks will be assigned to employees who are working for that
project.

6
Analysis Stage:
The planning stage establishes a bird's eye view of the intended software product, and
uses this to establish the basic project structure, evaluate feasibility and risks associated with
the project, and describe appropriate management and technical approaches.

The most critical section of the project plan is a listing of high-level product requirements,
also referred to as goals. All of the software product requirements to be developed during the
requirements definition stage flow from one or more of these goals. The minimum
information for each goal consists of a title and textual description, although additional
information and references to external documents may be included. The outputs of the project
planning stage are the configuration management plan, the quality assurance plan, and the
project plan and schedule, with a detailed listing of scheduled activities for the upcoming
Requirements stage, and high level estimates of effort for the out stages.

Designing Stage:

The design stage takes as its initial input the requirements identified in the approved
requirements document. For each requirement, a set of one or more design elements will be
produced as a result of interviews, workshops, and/or prototype efforts. Design elements
describe the desired software features in detail, and generally include functional hierarchy
diagrams, screen layout diagrams, tables of business rules, business process diagrams, pseudo
code, and a complete entity-relationship diagram with a full data dictionary. These design

7
When the design document is finalized and accepted, the RTM is updated to show that each
design element is formally associated with a specific requirement. The outputs of the design
stage are the design document, an updated RTM, and an updated project plan.
Development (Coding) Stage:
The development stage takes as its primary input the design elements described in the
approved design document. For each design element, a set of one or more software artifacts
will be produced. Software artifacts include but are not limited to menus, dialogs, data
management forms, data reporting formats, and specialized procedures and functions.
Appropriate test cases will be developed for each set of functionally related software artifacts,
and an online help system will be developed to guide users in their interactions with the

software.

8
 The RTM will be updated to show that each developed artifact is linked to a specific
design element, and that each developed artifact has one or more corresponding test case
items. At this point, the RTM is in its final configuration. The outputs of the development
stage include a fully functional set of software that satisfies the requirements and design
elements previously documented, an online help system that describes the operation of the
software, an implementation map that identifies the primary code entry points for all major
system functions, a test plan that describes the test cases to be used to validate the correctness
and completeness of the software, an updated RTM, and an updated project plan.

Integration & Test Stage:

During the integration and test stage, the software artifacts, online help, and test data are
migrated from the development environment to a separate test environment. At this point, all
test cases are run to verify the correctness and completeness of the software. Successful
execution of the test suite confirms a robust and complete migration capability. During this
stage, reference data is finalized for production use and production users are identified and
linked to their appropriate roles. The final reference data (or links to reference data source
files) and production user list are compiled into the Production Initiation Plan.

9
 Installation & Acceptance Test:

During the installation and acceptance stage, the software artifacts, online help, and
initial production data are loaded onto the production server. At this point, all test cases are
run to verify the correctness and completeness of the software. Successful execution of the
test suite is a prerequisite to acceptance of the software by the customer.
After customer personnel have verified that the initial production data load is correct
and the test suite has been executed with satisfactory results, the customer formally accepts
the delivery of the software.

The primary outputs of the installation and acceptance stage include a production
application, a completed acceptance test suite, and a memorandum of customer acceptance of
the software. Finally, the PDR enters the last of the actual labor data into the project schedule
and locks the project as a permanent project record. At this point the PDR "locks" the project
by archiving all software items, the implementation map, the source code, and the
documentation for future reference.

10
Maintenance:
Outer rectangle represents maintenance of a project, Maintenance team will start with
requirement study, understanding of documentation later employees will be assigned work
and they will under go training on that particular assigned category.
For this life cycle there is no end, it will be continued so on like an umbrella (no ending point
to umbrella sticks).

2.4 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Architecture flow:
Below architecture diagram represents mainly flow of requests from users to database
through servers. In this scenario overall system is designed in three tires separately using
three layers called presentation layer, business logic layer and data link layer. This project

12
 3.Feasibility Study
Preliminary investigation examines project feasibility, the likelihood the system will be
useful to the organization. The main objective of the feasibility study is to test the Technical,
Operational and Economical feasibility for adding new modules and debugging old running
system. All systems are feasible if they are given unlimited resources and infinite time. There
are aspects in the feasibility study portion of the preliminary investigation:
• Technical Feasibility
• Operation Feasibility
Economical Feasibility

3.1 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

The technical issue usually raised during the feasibility stage of the investigation includes the
following:
• Does the necessary technology exist to do what is suggested?
• Do the proposed equipments have the technical capacity to hold the data required to
use the new system?
• Will the proposed system provide adequate response to inquiries, regardless of the
number or location of users?
• Can the system be upgraded if developed?
Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability, ease of access and data security?

3.2 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY

OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
User-friendly

Customer will use the forms for their various transactions i.e. for adding new routes,
viewing the routes details. Also the Customer wants the reports to view the various
transactions based on the constraints. Theses forms and reports are generated as user-
friendly to the Client.

13
 Reliability

The package wills pick-up current transactions on line. Regarding the old transactions,
User will enter them in to the system.

Security

The web server and database server should be protected from hacking, virus etc

Portability

The application will be developed using standard open source software (Except Oracle)
like Java, tomcat web server, Internet Explorer Browser etc these software will work both
on Windows and Linux o/s. Hence portability problems will not arise.

Availability
This software will be available always.

Maintainability

The system called the ewheelz uses the 2-tier architecture. The 1st tier is the GUI, which
is said to be front-end and the 2nd tier is the database, which uses My-Sql, which is the
back-end.
The front-end can be run on different systems (clients). The database will be running at
the server. Users access these forms by using the user-ids and the passwords.

3.3 ECONOMIC FEASILITY

The computerized system takes care of the present existing system’s data flow and
procedures completely and should generate all the reports of the manual system besides a
host of other management reports.

It should be built as a web based application with separate web server and database
server. This is required as the activities are spread through out the organization customer
wants a centralized database. Further some of the linked transactions take place in
different locations.

14
 4.REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS

4.1 FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION

This application mainly consist four modules
1) Object Aspect
2) Behavior Aspect
3) Structure Aspect

Object Aspect:
In this module we are selecting one web application. In this module it finds the request
goes to from which jsp/servlet to which jsp and the response goes to from which jsp/servlet
file to which jsp.
Behavior Aspect:
In this module it will find the behavior of the application. It will find the control or action
goes from where to where.
Structure Aspect:
In this module it will shows the structure of whole application.

4.2 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

Performance is measured in terms of the output provided by the application. Requirement
specification plays an important part in the analysis of a system. Only when the requirement
specifications are properly given, it is possible to design a system, which will fit into required
environment. It rests largely with the users of the existing system to give the requirement
specifications because they are the people who finally use the system. This is because the
requirements have to be known during the initial stages so that the system can be designed
according to those requirements. It is very difficult to change the system once it has been
designed and on the other hand designing a system, which does not cater to the requirements
of the user, is of no use.
The requirement specification for any system can be broadly stated as given below:
The system should be able to interface with the existing system
• The system should be accurate
• The system should be better than the existing system
The existing system is completely dependent on the user to perform all the duties.

4.4.1. INTRODUCTION TO JAVA

About Java:

Initially the language was called as “oak” but it was renamed as “java” in 1995.The
primary motivation of this language was the need for a platform-independent(i.e.
architecture neutral)language that could be used to create software to be embedded in
various consumer electronic devices.

Java is a programmer’s language

Java is cohesive and consistent
Except for those constraint imposed by the Internet environment. Java gives
the programmer, full control

Finally Java is to Internet Programming where c was to System Programming.

Importance of Java to the Internet

Java has had a profound effect on the Internet. This is because; java expands the Universe
of objects that can move about freely in Cyberspace. In a network, two categories of
objects are transmitted between the server and the personal computer. They are passive
information and Dynamic active programs. in the areas of Security and probability. But

16
 Applications and applets.

An application is a program that runs on our Computer under the operating system of that
computer. It is more or less like one creating using C or C++ .Java’s ability to create
Applets makes it important. An Applet I san application, designed to be transmitted over
the Internet and executed by a Java-compatible web browser. An applet I actually a tiny
Java program, dynamically downloaded across the network, just like an image. But the
difference is, it is an intelligent program, not just a media file. It can be react to the user
input and dynamically change.

Java Architecture
Java architecture provides a portable, robust, high performing environment for
development. Java provides portability by compiling the byte codes for the Java Virtual
Machine, which is then interpreted on each platform by the run-time environment. Java is
a dynamic system, able to load code when needed from a machine in the same room or
across the planet.
Compilation of code
When you compile the code, the Java compiler creates machine code (called byte
code)for a hypothetical machine called Java Virtual Machine(JVM). The JVM is
supposed t executed the byte code. The JVM is created for the overcoming the issue of
probability. The code is written and compiled for one machine and interpreted on all
machines .This machine is called Java Virtual Machine.

During run-time the Java interpreter tricks the byte code file into thinking that it is
running on a Java Virtual Machine. In reality this could be an Intel Pentium windows 95
or sun SPARCstation running Solaris or Apple Macintosh running system and all could
receive code from any computer through internet and run the Applets.

Java was designed to be easy for the Professional programmer to learn and to use
effectively. If you are an experienced C++ Programmer. Learning Java)))

features of C++ . Most of the confusing concepts from C++ are either left out of Java or
implemented in a cleaner, more approachable manner. In Java there are a small number of
clearly defined ways to accomplish a given task.
Object oriented
Java was not designed to be source-code compatible with any other language. This
allowed the Java team the freedom to design with a blank state. One outcome of this was
a clean usable, pragmatic approach to objects. The object model in Java is simple and
easy to extend, while simple types, such as integers, are kept as high-performance non-
objects.

Robust
The multi-platform environment of the web places extraordinary demands on a program,
because the program must execute reliably in a variety of systems. The ability to creat

 4.4.2Servlets/JSP

INTRODUCTION

A Servlet Is a generic server extension. a Java class that can be loaded

Dynamically to expand the functionality of a server.Servlets are commonly used with
web servers. Where they can take the place CGI scripts.
A servlet is similar to proprietary server extension, except that it runs inside a Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) on the server, so it is safe and portable
Servlets operate solely within the domain of the server.
Unlike CGI and Fast CGI, which use multiple processes to handle separate program or
separate requests, separate threads within web server process handle all servlets. This
means that servlets are all efficient and scalable.
Servlets are portable; both across operating systems and also across web servers. Java
Servlets offer the best possible platform for web application development.
Servlets are used as replacement for CGI scripts on a web server, they can extend any
sort of server such as a mail server that allows servelts t extend its functionality perhaps
by performing a virus scan on all attached documents or handling mail filtering tasks.
Servlets provide a Java-based solution used to address the problems currently associated
with doing server-side programming including inextensible scripting solutions platform-
specific API’s and incomplete interface.
Servlets are objects that conform to a specific interface that can be plugged into a Java-
based server.Servlets are to the server-side what applets are to the server-side what
applets are to the client-side-object byte codes that can be dynamically loaded off the net.
They differ form applets in than they are faceless objects(with out graphics or a GUI
component).They serve as platform independent, dynamically loadable,plugable helper
byte code objects on the server side that can be used to dynamically extend server-side
functionality.
For example an HTTP servlet can be used to generate dynamic HTML content when you
use servlets to do dynamic content you get the following advantages:

They’re faster and cleaner then CGI scripts

They use a standard API( the servlet API)

19
ATTRACTIVENESS OF SERVLETS
They are many features of servlets that make them easy and attractive to tuse these
include:

Easily configure using the GUI-based Admin tool]

Can be Loaded and Invoked from a local disk or remotely across the network.
Can be linked together or chained, so that on servlet can call another servlet,
or several servlets in sequence.
Can be called dynamically from with in HTML, pages using server-side
include-tags.
Are secure-even when downloading across the network, the servlet security
model and servlet and box protect your system from unfriendly behavior.,
Advantages of the servlet API

One of the great advantages of the servlet API is protocol independent. It assumes
nothing about:
The protocol being used to transmit on the net
How it is loaded
The server environment it will be running in
These quantities are important, because it allows the Servlet API to be
embedded in many different kinds of servers. There are other advantages to
the servelt API as well These include:
It’s extensible-you can inherit all your functionality from the base classes
made available to you
It’s simple small, and easy to use.
Features of Servlets:

Servlets are persistent.Servlet are loaded only by the web server and can
maintain services between requests.
Servlets are fast. Since servlets only need to be l\loaded once, they offer much
better performance over their CGI counterparts.
Servlets are platform independent.
Servlets are extensible Java is a robust, object-oriented programming
language, which easily can be extended to suit your needs.
Servlets are secure.

20
Servlets are classes and interfaces from tow packages,javax .servlet and
javax.servlet.http.The java.servlet package contains classes support generic, protocol-
independent servlets.The classes in the javax.servelt.http package To and HTTP specific
functionality extend these classes

Every servlet must implement the javax.servelt interface.Most servlets implement it by

extendingoneof twclasses.javax.servlet.GenericServlet or javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.A
protocol-independent servlet should subclass Generic-Servlet.while an Http servlet should
subclass HttpServlet, which is itself a subclass of Generic-servlet with added HTTP-
specific functionality.

Unlike a java program, a servlet does not have a main() method,Instead the server in the
process of handling requests invoke certain methods of a servlet.Each time the server
dispatches a request to a servlet, it invokes the servelts Service() method,

A generic servlet should override its service() method to handle requests as appropriate
for the servlet.The service() accepts two parameters a request object and a response object
.The request object tells the servlet about the request, while the response object is used to
return a response

InContrast.anHttp servlet usually does not override the service() method.Instead it

overrides doGet() to handle GET requests and doPost() to handle Post requests. An Http
servlet can override either or both of these modules the service() method of HttpServlet
handles the setup and dispatching to all the doXXX() methods.which iswhy it usually
should not be overridden

The remainders in the javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http.package are largely support

classes .The ServletRequest and ServletResponse classes in javax.servlet provide access
to generic server requests and responses while HttpServletRequest and
HttpServletResponse classes in javax.servlet provide access to generic server requests and
responses while HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse in javax.servlet.http
provide access a HTTP requests and responses . The javax.servlet.http provide contains
an HttpSession class that provides built-in session tracking functionality and Cookie class
that allows quickly setup and processing HttpCookies.
21
Loading Servlets:
Servlets can be loaded from their places. From a directory that is on the CLASSPATH.
The CLASSPATH of the JavaWebServer includes service root/classes/, which is where
the system classes reside.

From the <SERVICE_ROOT/servlets/directory.This is not in the server’s classpath. A

class loader is used to create servlets form this directory.New servlets can be added-
existing servlets can be recompiled and the server will notice these changes. From a
remote location.For this a code base like http://nine.eng/classes/foo/ is required in addtion
to the servlet’s class name.Refer to the admin Gui docs on servlet section to see how to
set this up.

Loading Remote Servlets

Remote servlets can be loaded by:

Configuring the admin Tool to setup automatic loading of remote servlets.

Selectiong up server side include tags in .html files
Defining a filter chain Configuration
Invoking Servlets
A servlet invoker is a servlet that invokes the “server” method on a named servlet.If the
servlet is not loaded in the server,then the invoker first loades the servlet(either form local
disk or from the network) and the then invokes the “service” method.Also like
applets,local servlets in the server can be identified by just the class name.In other words,
if a servlet name is not absolute.it is treated as local.

A Client can Invoke Servlets in the Following Ways:

The client can ask for a document that is served by the servlet.
The client(browser) can invoke the servlet directly using a URL, once it has
been mapped using the SERVLET ALIASES Section of the admin GUI
The servlet can be invoked through server side include tags.

22
The Servlet Life Cycle:-

The Servlet life cycle is one of the most exciting features of Servlets.This life cycle is a
powerful hybrid of the life cycles used in CGI programming and lower-level NSAPI and
ISAPI programming.

The servlet life cycle allows servlet engines to address both the performance and resource
problems of CGI and the security concents of low level server API programming.

Servlet life cycle is highly flexible Servers hava significant leeway in how they choose to
support servlets.The only hard and fast rule is that a servlet engine must confor to the
following life cycle contact:

Create and initialize the servlets

Handle zero or more service from clients
Destroy the servlet and then garbage Collects it.

It’s perfectly legal for a servlet t be loaded, created an initialzed in its own JVM,only to
be destroyed an dgarbage collected without hancdling any clientrequest or after handling
just one request

The most common and most sensible life cycle implemntations for HTTP servelts are:
Single java virtual machine and astatine persistence.

Init and Destroy:-

Just like Applets servlets can define init() and destroy() methods, A servlets
init(ServiceConfig) method is called by the server immediately after the server constructs
the servlet’s instance.Depanding on the server and its configuration, this can be at any of
these times

When the server states

When the servlet is first requested, just before the service() method is invoked
At the request of the server administrator

In any case, nit() is guaranteed to be called before the servlet handles its first request.The
init() method is typically used to perform servlet initialization creating or loading objects

23
that are used by the servlet in handling of its request. In order to providing a new servlet
any information about itself and its environment, a server has to call a servelts init()
method and pass an object that implement the ServletConfig interface.

This ServletConfig object supplies a servlet with information about its initialization
parameters.These parameters are given to the servlets and are not associated with any
single request.They can specify initial values, such as where a counter should begin
counting, or default values, perhaps a template to use when not specified by the request,

The server calls a servlet’s destroy() method when the servlet is about to be unloaded. In
the destroy() method, a servlet should free any resources it has acquired that will not be
garbage collected. The destroy() method also gives a servlet a chance to write out its
unsaved. cached information or any persistent information that should be read during the
next call to init().
Session Tracking:

HTTP is a stateless protocol, it provides no way for a server to recognize that a sequence
of requests is all from the same client. This causes a problem for application such as
shopping cart applications. Even in chat application server can’t know exactly who’s
making a request of several clients.
The solution for this is for client to introduce itself as it makes each request, Each clients
needs to provide a unique identifier that lets the server identify it, or it needs to give some
information that the server can use to properly handle the request, There are several ways
to send this introductory information with each request Such as:
USER AUTHORIZATION:
One way to perform session tracking is to leverage the information that comes with
User authorization. When a web server restricts access to some of its resources to only
those clients that log in using a recognized username and password. After the client logs
in, the username is available to a servlet through getRemoteUser ()

Wean use the username to track the session. Once a user has logged in, the browser
remembers her username and resends the name and password as the user views new pages
on the site. A servlet can identify the user through her username and they’re by
Track her session.

24
The biggest advantage of using user authorization to perform session tracking is that it’s
easy to implement. Simply tell the protect a set of pages, and use getRemoteUser() to
identify each client.Another advantage is that the technique works even when the user
accesses your site form or exists her browser before coming back.

The biggest disadvantage of user authrization is that it requires each user to register for an
account and then log in in each time the starts visiting your site. Most users will tolerate
registering and lagging in as a necessary evil when they are accessing sensitive
information, but its all overkill for simple session tracking.Other problem with user
authorization is that a user cannot simultaneously maintain more than one session at the
same site.
Hidden Form Fields:
One way to support anonymous session tracking is to use hidden from fields. As the name
implies, these are fields added to an HTML, form that are not displayed in the client’s
browser, They are sent back to the server when the form that contains them is submitted.

In a sense, hidden form fields define constant variables for a form. To a servlet receiving
a submitted form, there is no difference between a hidden fields and a visible filed.

As more and more information is associated with a clients session . It can become
burdensome to pass it all using hidden form fields. In these situations it’s possible to pass
on just a unique session ID that identifies as particular clients session.

That session ID can be associated with complete information about its session that is
stored on the server.

The advantage of hidden form fields is their ubiquity and support for anonymity. Hidden
fields are supported in all the popular browsers, they demand on special server
requirements, and they can be used with clients that haven’t registered or logged in.

The major disadvantage with this technique, however is that works only for a sequence of
dynamically generated forms, The technique breaks down immediately with static
documents, emailed documents book marked documents and browser shutdowns.

URL Rewriting:

URL rewriting is another way to support anonymous session tracking, With URL
rewriting every local URL the user might click on is dynamically modified. or rewritten,

25
to include extra, information. The extra information can be in the deform of extra path
information, added parameters, or some custom, server-specific.URL change. Due to the
limited space available in rewriting a URL, the extra information is usually limited to a
unique session.

Each rewriting technique has its own advantage and disadvantage

Using extra path information works on all servers, and it works as a target for forms that
use both the Get and Post methods. It does not work well if the servlet has to use the extra
path information as true path information

The advantages and disadvantages of URL.rewriting closely match those of hidden form
fileds,The major difference is that URL rewriting works for all dynamically created
documents, such as the Help servlet, not just forms. With the right server support, custom
URL rewriting can even work for static documents.

Persistent Cookies:

A fourth technique to perform session tracking involves persistent cookies. A cookie is a

bit of information. sent by a web server to a browser that can later be read back form that
browser. When a browser receives a cookie, it saves the cookie and there after sends the
cookie back to the server each time it accesses a page on that server, subject to certain
rules. Because a cookie’s value can uniquely identify a client, cookies are often used for
session tracking.

Persistent cookies offer an elegant, efficient easy way to implement session tracking.
Cookies provide as automatic an introduction for each request as we could hope for. For
each request, a cookie can automatically provide a client’s session ID or perhaps a list of
clients performance. The ability to customize cookies gives them extra power and
versatility.

The biggest problem with cookies is that browsers don’t always accept cookies
sometimes this is because the browser doesn’t support cookies. More often its because

The browser doesn’t support cookies. More often its because the user has specifically
configured the browser to refuse cookies.The power of serves: The power of servlets is
nothing but the advantages of servlets over other approaches, which include portability,
power, efficiency, endurance, safety elegance, integration, extensibility and flexibility.

26
Portability:

As servlets are written in java and conform to a well defined and widely accepted
API.they are highly portable across operating systems and across server implementation

We can develop a servlet on a windows NT machine running the java web server and
later deploy it effortlessly on a high-end Unix server running apache. With servlets we
can really “write once, serve every where”

Servlet portability is not the stumbling block it so often is with applets, for two reasons

First,Servlet portability is not mandatory i.e. servlets has to work only on server machines
that we are using for development and deployment

Second, servlets avoid the most error-prone and inconstancy implemented portion of the
java languages.

Power:

Servlets can harness the full power of the core java. API’s: such as Networking and
Url access, multithreading, image manipulation, data compression, data base
connectivity, internationalization, remote method invocation(RMI) CORBA connectivity,
and object serialization, among others,

Efficiency And Endurance:

Servlet invocation is highly efficient, Once a servlet is loaded it generally remains in

the server’s memory as a single object instance, There after the server invokes the servelt
to handle a request using a simple, light weighted method invocation .Unlike the CGI,
there’s no process to spawn or interpreter to invoke, so the servlet can begin handling the
request almost immediately, Multiple, concurrent requests are handled the request almost
immediately. Multiple, concurrent requests are handled by separate threads, so servlets
are highly scalable.

Servlets in general are enduring objects. Because a servlets stays in the server’s memory
as a single object instance. it automatically maintains its state and can hold onto external
resources, such as database connections.

27
Safety:

Servlets support safe programming practices on a number of levels.As they are written in
java,servlets inherit the strong type safety of the java language. In addition the servlet API
is implemented to be type safe. Java’s automatic garbage collection and lack of pointers
mean that servlets are generally safe from memory management problems like dangling
pointers invalid pointer references and memory leaks.

Servlets can handle errors safely, due to java’s exception – handling mechanism. If a
servlet divides by zero or performs some illegal operations, it throws an exception that
can be safely caught and handled by the server.

A server can further protect itself from servlets through the use of java security
manager.A server can execute its servlets under the watch of a strict security manager.

Elegance:

The elegance of the servlet code is striking .Servlet code is clean, object oriented
modular and amazingly simple one reason for this simplicity is the served API itself.
Which includes methods and classes to handle many of the routine chores of servlet
development. Even advanced to operations like cookie handling and session tracking
tracking are abstracted int convenient classes.

Integration:

Servlets are tightly integrated with the server. This integration allows a servlet to
cooperate with the server in two ways . for e.g.: a servlet can use the server to translate
file paths, perform logging, check authorization, perform MIME type mapping and in
some cases even add users to the server’s user database.

Extensibility and Flexibility:

The servlet API is designed to be easily extensible. As it stands today the API
includes classes that are optimized for HTTP servlets.But later it can be extended and
optimized for another type of servlets.It is also possible that its support for HTTP servlets
could be further enhanced.Servlets are also quite flexible, Sun also introduced java server
pages. which offer a way to write snippets of servlet code directly with in a static HTML
page using syntax similar to Microsoft’s Active server pages(ASP).

4.4.3 JDBC

What is JDBC?
One can write a single program using the JDBC API,and the JDBC is a Java Api for
executing SQL,Statements(As a point of interest JDBC is trademarked name and is not an
acronym; nevertheless,Jdbc is often thought of as standing for Java Database
Connectivity. It consists of a set of classes and interfaces written in the Java
Programming language.JDBC provides a standard API for tool/database developers and
makes it possible to write database applications using a pure Java API
Using JDBC, it is easy to send SQL statements to virtually program will be able to send
SQL .statements to the appropriate database. The Combination of Java and JDBC lets a
programmer writes it once and run it anywhere.
What Does JDBC Do?
Simply put,JDBC makes it possible to do three things

o Establish a connection with a database

o Send SQL statements
o Process the results
o JDBC Driver Types
o The JDBC drivers that we are aware of this time fit into one of four categories
o JDBC-ODBC Bridge plus ODBC driver
o Native-API party-java driver
o JDBC-Net pure java driver
o Native-protocol pure Java driver
An individual database system is accessed via a specific JDBC driver that implements the
java.sql.Driver interface. Drivers exist for nearly all-popular RDBMS systems, through
few are available for free. Sun bundles a free JDBC-ODBC bridge driver with the JDK to
allow access to a standard ODBC,data sources, such as a Microsoft Access database, Sun
advises against using the bridge driver for anything other than development and very
limited development.

JDBC drivers are available for most database platforms, from a number of vendors
and in a number of different flavours. There are four driver categories

29
 Type 01-JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver
Type 01 drivers use a bridge technology to connect a java client to an ODBC database
service. Sun’s JDBC-ODBC bridge is the most common type 01 driver. These drivers
implemented using native code.
Type 02-Native-API party-java Driver
Type 02 drivers wrap a thin layer of java around database-specific native code
libraries for Oracle databases, the native code libraries might be based on the OCI(Oracle call
Interface) libraries, which were originally designed for c/c++ programmers, Because type-02
drivers are implemented using native code. in some cases they have better performance than
their all-java counter parts. They add an element of risk, however, because a defect in a
driver’s native code section can crash the entire server

Type 03-Net-Protocol All-Java Driver

Type 03 drivers communicate via a generic network protocol to a piece of custom

middleware. The middleware component might use any type of driver to provide the
actual database access. These drivers are all java, which makes them useful for applet
deployment and safe for servlet deployment

Type-04-native-protocol All-java Driver

Type o4 drivers are the most direct of the lot. Written entirely in java, Type 04 drivers
understand database-specific networking. protocols and can access the database directly
without any additional software.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge
If possible use a Pure Java JDBC driver instead of the Bridge and an ODBC driver.
This completely eliminates the client configuration required by ODBC.It also eliminates
the potential that the Java VM could be corrupted by an error in the native code brought
in by the Bridge(that is, the Bridge native library, the ODBC driver manager library,
library, the ODBC driver library, and the database client library)

WHAT IS The JDBC-ODBE Bridge ?

The JDBC-ODBC Bridge is a Jdbc driver, which implements JDBC operations by translating
them into ODBC operations. To ODBC it appears as a normal application program. The

30
Bridge is implemented as the sun.jdbc.odbc Java package and contains a native library used
to access ODBC.The Bridge is joint development of Intersolv and Java Soft

4.4.4 Oracle
Oracle is a relational database management system, which organizes data in the form of
tables. Oracle is one of many database servers based on RDBMS model, which manages a
seer of data that attends three specific things-data structures, data integrity and data
manipulation.
With oracle cooperative server technology we can realize the benefits of open,
relational systems for all the applications. Oracle makes efficient use of all systems resources,
on all hardware architecture; to deliver unmatched performance, price performance and
scalability. Any DBMS to be called as RDBMS has to satisfy Dr.E.F.Codd’s rules.

Features of Oracle:
Portable
The Oracle RDBMS is available on wide range of platforms ranging from PCs to
super computers and as a multi user loadable module for Novel NetWare, if you develop
application on system you can run the same application on other systems without any
modifications.
Compatible
Oracle commands can be used for communicating with IBM DB2 mainframe
RDBMS that is different from Oracle, which is Oracle compatible with DB2. Oracle RDBMS
is a high performance fault tolerant DBMS, which is specially designed for online transaction
processing and for handling large database applications.
Multithreaded Server Architecture
Oracle adaptable multithreaded server architecture delivers scalable high performance
for very large number of users on all hardware architecture including symmetric
multiprocessors (sumps) and loosely coupled multiprocessors. Performance is achieved by
eliminating CPU, I/O, memory and operating system bottlenecks and by optimizing the
Oracle DBMS server code to eliminate all internal bottlenecks.
Oracle has become the most popular RDBMS in the market because of its ease of use

31
 • Client/server architecture.
• Data independence.
• Ensuring data integrity and data security.
• Managing data concurrency.
• Parallel processing support for speed up data entry and online transaction processing
used for applications.
• DB procedures, functions and packages.

Dr.E.F.Codd’s Rules
These rules are used for valuating a product to be called as relational database
management systems. Out of 12 rules, a RDBMS product should satisfy at least 8 rules + rule
called rule 0 that must be satisfied.

RULE 0: Foundation Rule

For any system to be advertised as, or claimed to be relational DBMS should manage
database with in it self, with out using an external language.

RULE 1: Information Rule

All information in relational database is represented at logical level in only one way
as values in tables.

RULE 2: Guaranteed Access

Each and every data in a relational database is guaranteed to be logically accessibility
by using to a combination of table name, primary key value and column name.

RULE 3: Systematic Treatment of Null Values

Null values are supported for representing missing information and inapplicable
information. They must be handled in systematic way, independent of data types.

RULE 4: Dynamic Online Catalog based Relation Model

The database description is represented at the logical level in the same way as
ordinary data so that authorized users can apply the same relational language to its
interrogation as they do to the regular data.

32
RULE 5: Comprehensive Data Sub Language
A relational system may support several languages and various models of terminal
use. However there must be one language whose statement can express all of the following:
Data Definitions, View Definitions, Data Manipulations, Integrity, Constraints,
Authorization and transaction boundaries.

RULE 6: View Updating

Any view that is theoretical can be updatable if changes can be made to the tables that
effect the desired changes in the view.

RULE 7: High level Update, Insert and Delete

The capability of handling a base relational or derived relational as a single operand
applies not only retrieval of data also to its insertion, updating, and deletion.

RULE 8: Physical Data Independence

Application program and terminal activities remain logically unimpaired whenever
any changes are made in either storage representation or access method.
RULE 9: Logical Data Independence
Application programs and terminal activities remain logically unimpaired whenever
any changes are made in either storage representation or access methods.

RULE 10: Integrity Independence

Integrity constraints specific to particular database must be definable in the relational
data stored in the catalog, not in application program.
RULE 11: Distributed Independence
Whether or not a system supports database distribution, it must have a data sub-
language that can support distributed databases without changing the application program.

RULE 12: Non Sub-Version

If a relational system has low level language, that low language cannot use to
subversion or by pass the integrity rules and constraints expressed in the higher level
relational language.

33
Oracle supports the following Codd’s Rules
Rule 1: Information Rule (Representation of information)-YES.
Rule 2: Guaranteed Access-YES.
Rule 3: Systematic treatment of Null values-YES.
Rule 4: Dynamic on-line catalog-based Relational Model-YES.
Rule 5: Comprehensive data sub language-YES.
Rule 6: View Updating-PARTIAL.
Rule 7: High-level Update, Insert and Delete-YES.
Rule 8: Physical data Independence-PARTIAL.
Rule 9: Logical data Independence-PARTIAL.
Rule 10: Integrity Independence-PARTIAL.
Rule 11: Distributed Independence-YES.
Rule 12: Non-subversion-YES.

4.4.5 HTML
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the languages of the world wide web(WWW),
allows users to produces web pages that included text, graphics and pointer to other web
pages (Hyperlinks).

HTML is not a programming language but it is an application of ISO Standard 8879,

SGML(Standard Generalized Markup Language),but

Specialized to hypertext and adapted to the Web. The idea behind Hypertext one point to
another point. We can navigate through the information based on out interest and
preference. A markup language is simply a series of items enclosed within the elements
should be displayed.
Hyperlinks are underlined or emphasized works that load to other documents or some
portions of the same document.
Html can be used to display any type of document on the host computer, which can be
geographically at a different location. It is a versatile language and can be used on any
platform or desktop
HTML provides tags(special codes) to make the document look attractive.
HTML provides are not case-sensitive. Using graphics,fonts,different sizes, color, etc.. can
enhance the presentation of the document. Anything
That is not a tag is part of the document it self.

34
 Basic Html Tags:
<!-- --> Specific Comments.
<A>………</A> Creates Hypertext links.
<B>………</B> Creates hypertext links.
<Big>……..</Big> Formats text in large-font
<Body>…….</Body> contains all tags and text in the Html-document
<Center>……</Center> Creates Text
<DD>………..</DD> Definition of a term.
<TABLE>……</TABLE> creates table
<Td>………..</Td> indicates table data in a table.
<Tr>………..</Tr> designates a table row
<Th>……….</Th> creates a heading in a table.

ADVANTAGES :

A HTML document is small and hence easy to send over the net.It is small because it
does not include formatted information.
HTML is platform independent
HTML tags are not case-sensitive.

4.4.6 JAVA SCRIPT

The Java Script Language
JavaScript is a compact , object-based scripting language for developing client and server
internet applications. Netscape Navigator 2.0 interprets JavaScript statements embedded
directly in an HTML page. and Livewire enables you to create server-based applications
similar to common gateway interface(cgi) programs.

In a client application for Navigator, JavaScript statements embedded in an HTML Page

can recognize and respond to user events such as mouse clicks form
Input, and page navigation.
For example, you can write a JavaScript function to verify that users enter valid
information into a form requesting a telephone number or zip code . Without any network
transmission, an Html page with embedded Java Script can interpret the entered text and
alert the user with a message dialog if the input is invalid or you can use JavaScript to
perform an action (such as play an audio file, execute an applet.

 5.SYSTEM DESIGN

5.1 INTRODUCTION

Introduction: Systems design is the process or art of defining the architecture,

components, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements. One

could see it as the application of systems theory to product development. There is some

overlap and synergy with the disciplines of systems analysis, systems architecture and

systems engineering.

5.2 UML DIAGRAMS

Unified Modeling Language:

The Unified Modeling Language allows the software engineer to express an analysis model
using the modeling notation that is governed by a set of syntactic semantic and pragmatic
rules.

A UML system is represented using five different views that describe the system from
distinctly different perspective. Each view is defined by a set of diagram, which is as follows.
• User Model View
i. This view represents the system from the users perspective.
ii. The analysis representation describes a usage scenario from the end-
users perspective.

• Structural model view

i. In this model the data and functionality are arrived from inside the
system.
ii. This model view models the static structures.

• Behavioral Model View

It represents the dynamic of behavioral as parts of the system, depicting the
interactions of collection between various structural elements described in the
user model and structural model view.

36
 • Implementation Model View
In this the structural and behavioral as parts of the system are represented as
they are to be built.

• Environmental Model View

In this the structural and behavioral aspects of the environment in which
the system is to be implemented are represented.

UML is specifically constructed through two different domains they are:

✓ UML Analysis modeling, this focuses on the user model and structural model views
of the system.
✓ UML design modeling, which focuses on the behavioral modeling, implementation
modeling and environmental model views.

Use case Diagrams represent the functionality of the system from a user’s point of view. Use
cases are used during requirements elicitation and analysis to represent the functionality of
the system. Use cases focus on the behavior of the system from external point of view.

Actors are external entities that interact with the system. Examples of actors include users
like administrator, bank customer …etc., or another system like central database.

UML DIAGRAMS

UML stands for Unified Modelling Language. UML is a standardized general-purpose

modelling language in the field of object-oriented software engineering. The standard is
managed, and was created by, the Object Management Group.

The goal is for UML to become a common language for creating models of object-oriented
computer software. In its current form UML is comprised of two major components: a Meta-
model and a notation. In the future, some form of method or process may also be added to; or
associated with, UML.

The Unified Modelling Language is a standard language for specifying, Visualization,

Constructing and documenting the artifacts of software system, as well as for business
modelling and other non-software systems.

37
 The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that have proven successful
in the modelling of large and complex systems.

The UML is a very important part of developing objects oriented software and the
software development process. The UML uses mostly graphical notations to express the
design of software projects.

FIGURE-1

Class Diagram:

In software engineering, a class diagram in the Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a

type of static structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the
system's classes, their attributes, operations (or methods), and the relationships among the
classes. It explains which class contains information.

FIGURE-2

Use Case Diagram:

A use case diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of behavioral
diagram defined by and created from a Use-case analysis. Its purpose is to present a graphical
overview of the functionality provided by a system in terms of actors, their goals (represented
as use cases), and any dependencies between those use cases.

5.3. NORMALIZATION

A Database is a collection of interrelated data stored with a minimum of redundancy to serve

many applications. The database design is used to group data into a number of tables and
minimizes the artificiality embedded in using separate files. The tables are organized to:

Reduced duplication of data.

Simplify functions like adding, deleting, modifying data etc..,
Retrieving data
Clarity and ease of use
More information at low cost
Normalization is built around the concept of normal forms. A relation is said to be in a
particular normal form if it satisfies a certain specified set of constraints on the kind of
functional dependencies that could be associated with the relation.

41
First Normal Form:

A relation R is in first normal form if and only if all underlying domains

contained atomic values only.

Second Normal Form:

A relation R is said to be in second normal form if and only if it is in first
normal form and every non-key attribute is fully dependent on the primary key.

Third Normal Form:

A relation R is said to be in third normal form if and only if it is in second
normal form and every non key attribute is non transitively depend on the primary key.

 7.TESTING STRATAGIES
7.1 INTRODUCTION TO TESTING
Introduction to Testing:

Testing is a process, which reveals errors in the program. It is the major quality measure
employed during software development. During software development. During testing, the
program is executed with a set of test cases and the output of the program for the test cases is
evaluated to determine if the program is performing as it is expected to perform.

47
7.2 TESTING IN STRATEGIES

In order to make sure that the system does not have errors, the different levels of testing
strategies that are applied at differing phases of software development are:

Unit Testing:
Unit Testing is done on individual modules as they are completed and become
executable. It is confined only to the designer's requiremen

Each module can be tested using the following two Strategies:

Black Box Testing:

In this strategy some test cases are generated as input conditions that fully execute all
functional requirements for the program. This testing has been uses to find errors in the
following categories:
Incorrect or missing functions
Interface errors
Errors in data structure or external database access
Performance errors
Initialization and termination errors.
In this testing only the output is checked for correctness.

The logical flow of the data is not checked.

White Box testing :

In this module and logical decisions are tested on all the cases. It has been uses to generate
the test cases in the following cases the test cases are generated on the logic of each module
by drawing flow graphs of that:

Guarantee that all independent paths have been Executed.

Execute all logical decisions on their true and false Sides.
Execute all loops at their boundaries and within their operational bounds
Execute internal data structures to ensure their validity.

48
Integrating Testing :
Integration testing ensures that software and subsystems work together a whole. It tests
the interface of all the modules to make sure that the modules behave properly when
integrated together.
System Testing:
Involves in-house testing of the entire system before delivery to the user. It's aim is
to satisfy the user the system meets all requirements of the client's specifications.

Acceptance Testing :
It is a pre-delivery testing in which entire system is tested at client's site on real world
data to find errors.

Testing can be done in two ways:

Bottom up approach
Top down approach

Bottom up Approach:
Testing can be performed starting from smallest and lowest level modules and
proceeding one at a time. For each module in bottom up testing a short program executes
the module and provides the needed data so that the module is asked to perform the way it
will when embedded with in the larger system. When bottom level modules are tested
attention turns to those on the next level that use the lower level ones they are tested
individually and then linked with the previously examined lower level modules.

Top down approach:

This type of testing starts from upper level modules. Since the detailed activities
usually performed in the lower level routines are not provided stubs are written. A stub is
a module shell called by upper level module and that when reached properly will return a
message to the calling module indicating that proper interaction occurred. No attempt is
made to verify the correctness of the lower level module.

49
 Validation:
The system has been tested and implemented successfully and thus ensured that all the
requirements as listed in the software requirements specification are completely fulfilled.
In case of erroneous input corresponding error messages are displayed

8.SYSTEM SECURITY

8.1 INTRODUCTION
Setting Up Authentication for Web Applications

Introduction:

To configure authentication for a Web Application, use the <login-config> element of the
web.xml deployment descriptor. In this element you define the security realm containing the
user credentials, the method of authentication, and the location of resources for
authentication.

8.2 SECURITY IN SOFTWARE

To set up authentication for Web Applications:

1. Open the web.xml deployment descriptor in a text editor or use the Administration
Console. Specify the authentication method using the <auth-method> element. The
available options are:

BASIC
Basic authentication uses the Web Browser to display a username/password dialog box.
This username and password is authenticated against the realm.
FORM
Form-based authentication requires that you return an HTML form containing the
username and password. The fields returned from the form elements must be: j_username and
j_password, and the action attribute must be j_security_check.

 9.CONCLUSION
An interactive file sharing website with very few page refreshes was developed using
ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 as the back end. Users were given multiple views for
viewing their file system. There were three AJAX based traditional desktop style file system
visualizations with file management options, two space-constrained visualizations without
file management options and one traditional file system visualization with file management
options. Custom visualizations would take more time for the users to get adjusted, but would
be helpful in many ways. Also other features like RSS Syndication, share groups, search etc
were integrated.

An analysis was done on where to store the uploaded files – database or file system. Storing
files and large data in database is not new. Microsoft’s sharepoint products and technologies
store all contents, document files, images, etc in SQL Server. Also WinFS (Windows Future
Storage) plans to store all the files and data in a relational database derived from SQL Server
2005. The answer to the above question depends on the requirements of the application. In
the website developed for this project, it is clear that the upload time increases for files stored
in database as the file size increases, but download time of files, whether stored in database or
file system is almost the same. Also database has got more advantages when considering
maintenance, security, integrity etc. Considering these facts, the administrator can store the
files in the database, if the users do not care much about theupload time, since the
administrator would find it easy to administer and maintain the files when stored in the
database. But if upload time is taken into consideration, and then file system option would be
better. Also if authentication is not required to download file (e.g. images that are used in a
web application), then file system option would perform much better while uploading as well
as downloading
