you can use the core upload module and views to do this. create a new content type 'file' activate the upload module then you can create nodes with files. in views you can select table views with links to the node and the (i think so) attachment. you are just restricted by the upload limits of your server.

anything else needed?

Hi,

I am trying to do a similar thing but with much larger files. Also this is in Drupal 6. The files I want to store is around 500MB - 600MB. I think storing it in the DB is kinda stupid and that would be insane. Do you know of any modules that will read from the file system and then display those files in those groups. Possibly add a block for latest files added aswell as top file downloaded.

Davin.

i don't know if http://drupal.org/project/file_import does what you need.

otherwise the only way i see here is to use ftp uploads and a filemanager like webfm (http://drupal.org/project/webfm).

  • Upload your file with ftp to your directory
  • Create the node for displaying a download
  • Use WebFM to attach the file to the node
