Retrieve files from your Sandbox instance - Fermion Documentation

The getFile() method retrieves a file from your sandbox’s filesystem and returns it as a standard Web Response object, allowing you to handle the data in multiple formats: text, JSON, binary, or Blob. All file paths must start with the absolute path /home/damner to ensure access is confined to the sandbox’s isolated workspace.
