read file data stored in file ssytem

Hi, Isn't it possible yet to read files stored in file system throw relation?(when data type of column in relation is file)
whether in front-end or back-end?

It was planned for r3.10, but was postponed as we could not get it done in time.

I miss this function too and would like to have it in the backend.

I am currently trying to upload a file from another JavaScript framework via /data/upload into R3 as described in https://community.rei3.de/d/456-datei-up-download-via-rest-api/8 . This works well with simple textfiles, but not with binary files. Creating a mulitpart/form-data request for uploading binary files with JavaScript seems to be an almost impossible task.

It would be helpful to scan directories and import files via a backend function and then link them to a data record using file_link. Not a perfect solution for my case, but at least a workaround.
