File Up issues

Yeah, it doesn’t work on Windows Server, because of the directory demarcation difference between Windows Server and a regular server. It’ll work when you make the site live though. Eventually I’m going to do a great big redesign of the plugin and this will be addressed in that redesign, but for the time being, this is a limitation.

Thanks for the quick reply! Did I mention I love the plugin?
Yeah, “live” is not really the end game here, I’m building an intranet so everything will remain local.

Ah, my bad. Misunderstanding.

Try this:

open up wp-content/plugins/file-away/lib/cls/class.fileaway_management.php

and make the following changes:

//lines 325-236
$parents = stripslashes(trim(str_replace('..', '', $_POST['parents']), '/'));
$newsub = stripslashes(trim(str_replace('..', '', $_POST['newsub']), '/'));
//replace with
$parents = trim(str_replace('..', '', $_POST['parents']), '/');
$newsub = trim(str_replace('..', '', $_POST['newsub']), '/');

//lines 410-411
$oldpath = stripslashes(trim(str_replace('..', '', $_POST['oldpath']), '/'));
$newname = stripslashes(str_replace(array('..','/'), '', $_POST['newname']));
//replace with
$oldpath = trim(str_replace('..', '', $_POST['oldpath']), '/');
$newname = str_replace(array('..','/'), '', $_POST['newname']);

//line 417
$parents = stripslashes($_POST['parents']);
//replace with
$parents = $_POST['parents'];

//line 536
$path = stripslashes($path1.'/'.$path2);
//replace with
$path = $path1.'/'.$path2;

//lines 672-673
$url = stripslashes($_POST['url']);
$pp = $problemchild ? fileaway_utility::replacefirst(stripslashes($_POST['pp']), $install, '') : stripslashes($_POST['pp']);
//replace with
$url = $_POST['url'];
$pp = $problemchild ? fileaway_utility::replacefirst($_POST['pp'], $install, '') : $_POST['pp'];

//line 803
if(!is_file("$oldfile")) $oldfile = stripslashes("$oldfile");
//replace with
if(!is_file("$oldfile")) $oldfile = "$oldfile";

//line 831
$file = $rootpath.stripslashes($file);
//replace with
$file = $rootpath.$file;

//lines 899-900
? fileaway_utility::replacefirst(stripslashes($_POST['destination']), $install, '')
: stripslashes($_POST['destination']);
//replace with
? fileaway_utility::replacefirst($_POST['destination'], $install, '')
: $_POST['destination'];

//lines 906-907
$fro = stripslashes($fro);
$to[$k] = stripslashes($to[$k]);
//replace with
$fro = $fro;
$to[$k] = $to[$k];

//lines 958-959
? fileaway_utility::replacefirst(stripslashes($_POST["destination"]), $install, '')
: stripslashes($_POST["destination"]);
//replace with
? fileaway_utility::replacefirst($_POST["destination"], $install, '')
: $_POST["destination"];

//lines 965-966
$fro = stripslashes($fro);
$to[$k] = stripslashes($to[$k]);
//replace with
$fro = $fro;
$to[$k] = $to[$k];

//line 1026
$file = stripslashes($file);
//replace with
$file = $file;

//line 1084
$location = stripslashes($location);
//replace with
$location = $location;

Just to be clear, actually replace the line/s above “//replace with” with the line/s below “//replace with”.

Hi. I have an issue. After i created directories on server ., created a page withe shortcode , i have this issue

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /new/normative/ on this server.

What is going wrong ?

That would be a permissions issue. Check with your web host, I’d recommend.

Thom, you are da man. Thank you for the edits, the upload process works perfectly!
Any advice on how to even begin to learn this level of coding? I would be starting from square one – I would love to be able to dive into the file like you did and tweak it as needed.
