Re: End user files uploaded to sftp getting stored in tomcat root directory
Much appreciated your detailed response Chris, I’ll investigate upon these
points and try to discuss with the developer.
Thanks once again.!!

Re: End user files uploaded to sftp getting stored in tomcat root directory
Farash,
On 8/9/22 09:23, Farash Ahamad wrote:
Hi Chris,
There is an application portal running on tomcat used by many users, where
they create profiles, upload documents, etc.
When they upload the document via portal, the application pushes it to sftp
on another server, but sometimes a copy is stored in the root directory
tomcat server with exact details like filename, size, etc.
So your users upload to your application, which then uploads the file
via sftp?
My guess is that your application does something like this:
public void service(Request, Response) {
String filename = Request.getParameter("filename");
InputStream in = Request.getInputStream();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
while(in.read(...)) {
out.write(...);
}
out.close();
in.close();
FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
client.connect();
client.put(filename);
}
By using the Tomcat server as a temporary location for files, there is
the possibility that uploaded-files will stick-around in that directory,
especially if the code isn't very careful about resource-management and
error-handling.
I would immediately audit your code for the following:
1. Proper destination directory. If users can upload files to your
Tomcat directory, what happens if I upload a .jsp file and then request
that file over HTTP from your server? Will it execute the file? :0 You
should write all files into the container-provided temp directory. Ask
if you don't know what this it.
2. Filename sanitization. If a user can upload a file, can they
overwrite local files? Can they perform directory-traversals? What
happens if I upload /etc/passwd or conf/server.xml?
3. Proper resource management (e.g. look for close() and delete() for
everything you do locally)
4. Maybe you don't even need to store the file locally. Does your sftp
client library allow you to stream files directly to the remote server?
It would be better to never write the file bytes onto the Tomcat server
in the first place.
Hope that helps,

Re: End user files uploaded to sftp getting stored in tomcat root directory
Hi Chris, There is an application portal running on tomcat used by many users, where they create profiles, upload documents, etc. When they upload the document via portal, the application pushes it to sftp on another server, but sometimes a copy is stored in the root directory tomcat server with exact details like filename, size, etc. Regards, Farash On Tue, Aug 9, 2022 at 4:18 PM Christopher Schultz < ch...@christopherschultz.net> wrote: > Farash, > > On 8/9/22 04:55, Farash Ahamad wrote: > > Just to add, the file is getting uploaded to SFTP server, but there is an > > exact copy in tomcat server as well. > > Can you give more details?

But it's also a good idea to have a ROOT web application. It just doesn't have to be (and shouldn't be!) the default Tomcat root web application. Why? Well, if you navigate to /doesnotexist.html or /does/not/exist.html, unless your application is ROOT or happens to be mounted on "/does", Tomcat has no application to "assign" the request to, so it MUST generate a generic error message.

Removing Tomcat ROOT directory causes the server to hang on startup
Good Morning, Tomcat version 8.5.15 Is it possible to remove the tomcat ROOT directory? We have several applications running on a tomcat instance. I was asked to clean the webapps directory up and remove any unused folders. I removed manager host-manager docs examples Everything is fine, as I expected. I looked at the ROOT folder an there are images, a couple of jsp pages and a WEB-INF directory. None of these are used by our applications, so I removed the ROOT directory. Now the server hangs on startup and my applications don't start. Can the ROOT directory be removed? It appears that according to the Apache docs it is optional: "The ROOT web application presents a very low security risk but it does include the version of Tomcat that is being used. The ROOT web application should normally be removed from a publicly accessible Tomcat instance, not for security reasons, but so that a more appropriate default page is shown to users." I tried leaving just an empty ROOT directory, but it still hangs. Is there a configuration that I'm missing somewhere that could be looking for the ROOT directory?

Re: listing directory content outside tomcat root
Enable listings is sort of** a global setting. Since the default servlet is declared in conf/web.xml - its inherited in *every* webapp. So its config is also inherited. (Bummer) BUT - if you add a WEB-INF/web.xml to EVERY webapp with the default servlet settings - then you can remove the default servlet config from conf/web.xml and have the default servlet per webapp config. That means - in docBase=/path_to_some_dir/ -- you need /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml What I forget is - what happens if you only create /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml and leave conf/web.xml alone.

Re: tomcat ROOT
Not naive at all; I think it's an entirely relevant and obvious question. In my situation we have a system that's administered by a different group than mine (we're merely application programmers) and the system administrators have settled on doing things this way. They're understaffed and overworked so having a common setup for everyone on this shared system seems reasonable to me.

Re: tomcat ROOT
Assuming you are deploying by dropping myapp.war into webapps: 1. Delete webapps/ROOT ; 2. Rename myapp.war to ROOT.war (case is important here) 3. Deploy your new ROOT.war in webapps. 4. Since ROOT is the default that tomcat will run when it can't match the incoming request, www.mysite.com will invoke ROOT which will be your myapp. --Ken On Sep 8, 2008, at 2:51 PM, Markus Lord wrote: I have apache acting as a proxy for my tomcat and I'm wondering how I can get this one application 'myapp' to show up without having the directory name in the url.

You need to become familiar with this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html The default app must be named ROOT - no ifs, ands, or buts. You can achieve this in one of three ways. If you want only your app to be available via Tomcat, change the appBase attribute of your Host element in conf/server.xml to point to the directory immediately above your application instead of webapps, and rename the directory your app is in to ROOT. If you want to keep the existing Tomcat apps (other than the normal ROOT), you must first delete the existing webapps/ROOT directory (or rename it). Following that, you can either move your app into webapps/ROOT, or create conf/[engine]/[host]/ROOT.xml containing a Context element with a docBase attribute pointing to your app. (Unless you've changed them, [engine] is Catalina, and [host] is localhost.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
