The file manager service allows to remotely deploy/undeploy files to/from runtime directory. The service is always installed by default, however can be removed/undeployed for the security purposes without affecting anything but file deployment.

Setup

Use the template EVA_DIR/share/svc-tpl/svc-tpl-filemgr.yml:

# File manager service
command: svc/eva-filemgr
bus:
  path: var/bus.ipc
config:
  protected:
    - registry
    - svc_data
  mime_types: share/mime.yml
# the file manager service usually works under root, however may be restricted
# for higher security
user: eva

Create the service using eva-shell:

eva svc create eva.filemgr.main /opt/eva4/share/svc-tpl/svc-tpl-filemgr.yml

or using the bus CLI client:

cd /opt/eva4
cat DEPLOY.yml | ./bin/yml2mp | \
    ./sbin/bus ./var/bus.ipc rpc call eva.core svc.deploy -

(see eva.core::svc.deploy for more info)
