File System Operations

The Daytona SDK provides comprehensive file system operations through the fs module in Sandboxes. This guide covers all available file system operations and best practices.

Basic Operations

Daytona SDK provides an option to interact with the file system in Sandboxes. You can perform various operations like listing files, creating directories, reading and writing files, and more.

Listing Files and Directories

Daytona SDK provides an option to list files and directories in a Sandbox using Python and TypeScript.

Python
TypeScript

# List files in a directory
files = sandbox.fs.list_files("/workspace")
for file in files:
    print(f"Name: {file.name}")
    print(f"Is directory: {file.is_dir}")
    print(f"Size: {file.size}")
    print(f"Modified: {file.mod_time}")

// List files in a directory
const files = await sandbox.fs.listFiles("/workspace");

files.forEach(file => {
    console.log(`Name: ${file.name}`);
    console.log(`Is directory: ${file.isDir}`);
    console.log(`Size: ${file.size}`);
    console.log(`Modified: ${file.modTime}`);
});

Creating Directories

Daytona SDK provides an option to create directories with specific permissions using Python and TypeScript.

Python
TypeScript

# Create a directory
sandbox.fs.create_folder("/workspace/new-dir")

# Create with specific permissions

sandbox.fs.create_folder("/workspace/new-dir", "755")

// Create a directory
await sandbox.fs.createFolder("/workspace/new-dir");

// Create with specific permissions
await sandbox.fs.createFolder("/workspace/new-dir", "755");

File Operations

Daytona SDK provides options to read, write, upload, download, and delete files in Sandboxes using Python and TypeScript.

Python
TypeScript

# Upload a file
with open("local_file.txt", "rb") as f:
    content = f.read()
sandbox.fs.upload_file("/workspace/remote_file.txt", content)

# Download a file

content = sandbox.fs.download_file("/workspace/remote_file.txt")
with open("local_file.txt", "wb") as f:
    f.write(content)

# Delete a file

sandbox.fs.delete_file("/workspace/file.txt")

// Upload a file
const fileContent = new File(
    [Buffer.from('Hello, World!')],
    'data.txt',
    { type: 'text/plain' }
);
await sandbox.fs.uploadFile("/workspace/remote_file.txt", fileContent);

// Download a file
const downloadedFile = await sandbox.fs.downloadFile("/workspace/remote_file.txt");
console.log('File content:', downloadedFile.toString())

// Delete a file
await sandbox.fs.deleteFile("/workspace/file.txt");

Advanced Operations

Daytona SDK provides advanced file system operations like file permissions, search and replace, and more.

File Permissions

Daytona SDK provides an option to set file permissions, get file permissions, and set directory permissions recursively using Python and TypeScript.

Python
TypeScript

# Set file permissions
sandbox.fs.set_file_permissions("/workspace/file.txt", "644")

# Get file permissions

file_info = sandbox.fs.get_file_info("/workspace/file.txt")
print(f"Permissions: {file_info.permissions}")

// Set file permissions
await sandbox.fs.setFilePermissions("/workspace/file.txt", { mode: "644" });

// Get file permissions
const fileInfo = await sandbox.fs.getFileDetails("/workspace/file.txt");
console.log(`Permissions: ${fileInfo.permissions}`);

File Search and Replace

Daytona SDK provides an option to search for text in files and replace text in files using Python and TypeScript.

Python
TypeScript

# Search for text in files; if a folder is specified, the search is recursive
results = sandbox.fs.find_files(
    path="/workspace/src",
    pattern="text-of-interest"
)
for match in results:
    print(f"Absolute file path: {match.file}")
    print(f"Line number: {match.line}")
    print(f"Line content: {match.content}")
    print("\n")

# Replace text in files

sandbox.fs.replace_in_files(
    files=["/workspace/file1.txt", "/workspace/file2.txt"],
    pattern="old_text",
    new_value="new_text"
)

// Search for text in files; if a folder is specified, the search is recursive
const results = await sandbox.fs.findFiles({
    path="/workspace/src",
    pattern: "text-of-interest"
});
results.forEach(match => {
    console.log('Absolute file path:', match.file)
    console.log('Line number:', match.line)
    console.log('Line content:', match.content)
});

// Replace text in files
await sandbox.fs.replaceInFiles(
    ["/workspace/file1.txt", "/workspace/file2.txt"],
    "old_text",
    "new_text"
);
