    • Placing files in user's directory

    Posted by Glen Richards posts: 2 United States

    Is it possible for an admin to place files into a user's directory via ftp? I have files that must be placed daily in each user's directory, and I'd prefer not to use "file upload".

    Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way! 😕 I'd like to have each user have unique access to particular files that are updated daily - can this be done in Tikiwiki? ❓

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    yo,

    If you mean user files feature, you'll need to do a little coding. Those files are only stored in the database.

    besides, even the file galleries dont allow FTP of files at the moment, although I have been working on a sneaky little tweak for that.

    Damian,

    Thanks for the reply! What I need is a way for an admin to make a particular file available to a particular user (or more accurately, particular files to particular users) on a daily basis. My hope was to avoid logging the files into the database - I had hoped there might be a way of FTPing the files to the appropriate directories and each individual would see the files meant for him alone.

    I realize I'm doing a very lousy job describing what I want, so if I can try to clear it up for you, please let me know! 🙄

    Well currently in Tiki there is no FTP import features anywhere. So this isnt going to be possible (yet). 1.9 should include (given my time permitting) a FTP import feature for the image galleries, and also file galleries, but the feature will rename the file to its md5 hash, to continue the secure aspects of Tiki.
