Using ClamAV

If you want to use ClamAV for virus checking install appwrite/php-clamav.

composer require appwrite/php-clamav

You must be sure that ClamAV is installed on server and runs as root or as the same user as the webserver.

In the background the PHP uploads the file from your PC to the server. For exmpl: C:\mydoc.pdf to /tmp/qwd45rgrQWQ This /tmp/qwd45rgrQWQ temporary file must be accessible for clamav. If this is possible, the you can enable it.

$this->addBehavior(\FileUploader\Model\Behavior\UploadBehavior::class, ['image' => [
    // ... your other configs here ....
    'clamav' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'socket' => '/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl',
    ]
]]);

OR

$this->addBehavior(\FileUploader\Model\Behavior\UploadBehavior::class, ['image' => [
    // ... your other configs here ....
    'clamav' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'port' => '3310',
    ]
]]);

Note: if the ClamAV check is enabled the file MUST PASS. If the file is not accessible, ClamAV deamon is down or the file is dangerous, the upload fails.
