Route HTTP uploads into an on-premise folder
Accept file uploads via HTTP POST and have them appear in a folder on your own server. DocEvent queues each upload and the Filerouter agent pulls it down over outbound HTTPS — no exposed endpoints on your network, full audit trail included.

How HTTP Upload to Filerouter (on-premise) routing works
HTTP Upload
Files arrive via HTTP POST to a dedicated DocEvent channel endpoint.
DocEvent Channel
Filerouter
Files are delivered into a local folder on your own server by the Filerouter agent.
1
File arrives via HTTP Upload
REST endpoint accepts multipart/form-data file uploads with optional authentication headers.
2
Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3
Delivered to Filerouter (on-premise)
The agent connects out to DocEvent over HTTPS — no inbound ports to open — and writes each delivered file into the folder you choose, acknowledging every file so restarts and dropped connections never lose one or deliver it twice.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a HTTP Upload → Filerouter (on-premise) channel.
- Accept files from web apps or APIs and land them on an internal server
- Let customers POST files over HTTPS that arrive in your local processing folder
- Bridge cloud upload endpoints to software that only reads local directories
- Collect field-device HTTP uploads into one on-premise ingest folder
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the HTTP Upload or Filerouter (on-premise) side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
