Easy FTP Upload

  • I have installed the Easy FTP Upload 2.6 plug-in and successfully uploaded a file. As the name suggests, installation and setup was easy and the plug-in seems to work well. When I try and upload a second file using the same company and username however, a receive an error message saying “Could not access directory!” If I upload using a different username and company, the plug-in creates a new directory and uploads the file. This shouldn’t be the case, as a returning user would not want to make up a new company name each time they return to upload a file.

    Also, is there any way to secure FTP access to certain users so that just anybody can’t happen upon the page and start filling up your FTP folder with junk?

    Thanks,

    David

  • @kchealy There are in fact three parameters that can affect the max size you can upload. But the one you mean is upload_max_filesize, so just do a search for that in php.ini. Change 2M or whatever the value it is to an appropriate amount. Check out the PHP manual for more info:

    This plugin is ok and does a job, but as hgaims said, it could use a CAPTCHA. I’ve just spent the last few hours doing a rather clunky hack using Really Simple Captcha so it can be done. It isn’t very elegant at all, but if you want to know how I did it, contact me.

    Now the whole POST file size restriction thing is apparent, a nice, small, quick edition to this plugin would be to output the maximum file size limit to the form.

    This is a nice plugin, and it does install and work fine. That said, I’d like to be able to have users upload at least two file, maybe three if they have them, rather than just uploading one at a time and starting over.

    It was simple to increase the buttons by adding to the html form, but there’s some issue in that it only uploads one file, whichever gets name=’file’ in the form. I thought I might get lucky by incrementing that to file1, or file2, but no go. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
