Uploaded files not attached to the post and option for uploading to other server

Hi,

The “attach” word has a specific meaning in WordPress. It means that the uploaded file is internally linked to the post. You can have many files (like images) attached to a post. So, whenever you want to display only the files of that post (e.g. with a gallery plugin) you can do it easily.

This does not mean that a link will show up automatically on the post, because the plugin does not know if you just want to show a link, or a thumbnail, or something else.

So, what exactly do you want to do when the file is uploaded and attached to the post?

Hi nickboss,

I see then the user can select the attached file from Media library and add it to the post, right?

My second question is more important. Let me explain it. I have the server “A” which the wordpress is installed. And the server “B” which download files reside.

Server “A” can reach the server “B” with FTP but using the SSH method. Between A and B there is public-private SSH keys.

Can i configure this plugin that when the user uploads a file, the file will be send to the server “B”?

Yes, however the plugin can also attach files automatically. If you enable the option “Attach Uploaded Files To Post” using the visual editor of the plugin, then the uploaded file will be added to Media library and will be attached to that page.

Regarding the FTP, the plugin supports it. However if it uses SSH I am not sure. When you connect using an FTP client (like Filezilla) do you declare any keys together with username and password?

The Free version supports FTP as well, so you can try it.

Yes i declare the private key when using with (Filezilla) and no password only keys. I will try and post the results. If it is not working then i have to setup an FTP server, then will use username-password (but not my first choice because it is not very secure)

It is not working with SFTP. I don’t want to use normal FTP because it is very unsecure. But even if use it could i be able to upload? Because in plugin settings it says the upload directory is relative to wp-contents folder. In my second server i don’t have a WordPress installation. Though i can create a fake wp-contents folder but i don’t know if it supports uploading to another server.

I setup an FTP server with TLS/SSL. (this is not SFTP, this is normal FTP that uses SSL). It seems the plugin doesn’t work with it too. I guess it should be plain FTP (that your password sends in plain text – very unsecure). I hope you will bring support for it.

Thanks for helping.

Does this use port 22 instead of the default 20? If yes, you can setup the plugin to use port 22.
