Well, plus this is free, no registration required, and unlimited space.

How would a user execute a file they saved? =S

@hervens: A home webserver.

Are the files stored on the local server? If so, could they be executed if the user knew the link to the directory they were in?

I would run it on my home server... When I get my FreeBSD to work that is.

Wah? I wasn't even responding to what you said. In case that's why you said wrong post. Unless you really did post in the wrong place (coincidentally in context).

Here's a scenario to better explain what I am getting at...

I go to your site and create a file/script, that contains some malicious code. I save the file then go to your server, specifically to that file through my browser and execute it.

I was just curious as to if there were any constraints on contents of files, or execution of saved files... more or less for the prevention of an intrusion/attack.

In other words, when a user saves a file at what location is it stored? Can the user get directly to the file and execute it via a browser? Or is the contents stored in a database that is queried when someone wants to view it?

If you choose a filename, you could choose "abadscript.php".

Then if you know the path you would go to http://onlinefileeditor/username/abadscript.php

instead of opening it through the actual website. If the server isn't configured to block scripts in user directories it would run the script. etc.
