Overview
The wp_stack_connector.php is a dedicated file used primarily for the restore method within our WordPress plugin. This file is located at the website's root and is unrelated to other plugins.
Functionality
This connection file requests to download an S3 file from the servers and extracts the archive file. While it is currently used for restoring files, it also holds potential for backup operations with future improvements. However, it's worth noting that the wp_stack_connector.php doesn't leverage WordPress functionality.
Data Retrieval
The data retrieved using this file is solely restored information. Future development might enable backup capabilities from this file, but this would require significant enhancement as the file currently doesn't utilize WordPress functionality.
Security Measures
Security is a paramount concern for us. For secure communication with the plugin, we use standard SHA1 encryption. We generate a unique signature for each request, ensuring robust security and preventing unauthorized access.
Purpose
The main reason we use wp_stack_connector.php is for restoring files. If a site is broken, we can restore it from this file, provided it hasn't been removed. It exists independently of other plugins and is closely tied to server security.
The wp_stack_connector.php file is crucial for establishing and preserving a connection between your server and the WP-Stack application. We kindly request you not delete this file, as it is mandatory for proper functioning. If you require any assistance, please feel free to contact us.
