• Init: this is the first command issued by CKFinder. It returns the general settings of the connector and all configured resource types.
• GetFolders: gets the list of the children folders of a folder.
• GetFiles: similar to the above command, gets the list of the children files of a folder.
• CreateFolder: creates a child folder.
• RenameFolder: renames a folder.
• DeleteFolder: deletes a folder.
• RenameFile: renames a file.
• DeleteFile: deletes a file.
• CopyFiles copies files.
• MoveFiles moves files.
• FileUpload (non XML): adds a file in a folder.
• QuickUpload (non XML): adds a file in a folder.
• DownloadFile (non XML): downloads a file from the server.
• Thumbnail (non XML): downloads the thumbnail of an image file.

All security and ACL checks must be done before executing any of the above commands. For ACL related attributes, see “ACL – Access Control List” later in this documentation.
