Currently in OBEXD, only OPP put has authorization and file progress

planning to
add a new method namely GetProperties in transfer, which returns the
type of
the operation (put/get/delete) so that application can use it in
Authorize
method. Please let me know your suggestions.
We try to avoid such extra round-trips in our D-Bus APIs. If such a
feature is really needed the essential context information should be
provided as parameters to the "authorize" call.
Im not so sure authorize here is really useful since FTP requires
connection authorization anyway, we can create transfers if the
purpose is to log them.
Thanks for your reply.
Even if FTP has connection authorization I think it is better to ask
file authorization for put/get/delete. This gives more flexibility to
application. It is up to application to decide whether to ask end user
or simply accept. Also in put case if a file with same filename is already
there, then this approach will be useful for application to handle that.
