Filebrowser Module | drupal.org

Posted by martinwillb on August 26, 2009 at 4:46pm

I'm new to Drupal. I love the modules it cuts down time for development. The one module that I thought would be easy to implement is the Filebrowser. How is one to set it up. I can't even get it to the point where I see an FTP interface. I'm trying to allow my users FTP type of way to see all of what they have in their files and allow thme to upload by drag and dropping.

The Filebrowser "in action" view looks good but how do you configure Drupal to use the Filebrowser module?

Any help is welcomed.

Thanks

This combination of modules has worked well for us:

Filebrowser Security

Thanks for the info. I got it to work. Now I'm trying to secure it. I don't want user to be able to see each others uploads. Where do I control this? I don't see any option in permissions.

User directories

There are some good instructions when you go in to edit a profile. Essentially you would want to give each user their own directory:

"Use %uid as a placeholder for user ID. Ex: users/user%uid creates directories such as users/user1, users/user42, etc."

Hope this helps.

User Directories and a Mass file loader module

Posted by martinwillb on September 1, 2009 at 4:30pm

Thanks the %uid worked well. Now I'm on to figuring out how I can allow my users to upload a mass amount of files reguardless of what type. Some what like a FTP application. Is there any Drupal module out there that allows for this. I would like users to be able to drag and drop at the max 10 files with a max file size limit of course.

IMCE SWFupload and SWFupload

Posted by martinwillb on September 4, 2009 at 3:15pm

I uploaded both the IMCE SWFupload and SWFupload modules mainly to get mass uploading to work for my users. I have the %uid placeholder for user ID set and it works for IMCE when I disable IMCE SWFupload and SWFupload it does not.

I got this to do multiple uploads. I like it works good BUT.. I can't seem to get to upload content in the authorized users folder (ex. user1 is logged in and uploads 4 pics. The pic files uploade to the File System Path setup in the File System settings) Uploads right to the user1 folder when I disable IMCE SWFUpload and SWFupload.

Any ideas?

How did you get it to work?

Uploads to Logged in users directory

Posted by martinwillb on September 12, 2009 at 5:19pm

Let me get back to you about this. I started over with a lot of things and i'm starting to write down what I did. Setting up SWFupload to do multi-file uploading is tricky and the documentation is all over the place. I almost have it set up again. But I tell you one thing, there seems to be NO way to upload the multiple files into the directory of the logged in user. So once you get it working this will be the next battle.
