Hello,

it seems there is no solution for a simple task:

I have to upload video files with ftp. No chance to do it by browser.
I would like to reference this file in a cck field. (somehow like FileField Sources, but this doesn't work with ftp upload... what a pitty)

So that I can choose from the files I upoaded by ftp.

Is there really no solution?

Despite the name, the http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_import module can do this with any type of file and filefields. Then you should be able to use something like the swftools or video modules for the display and playback.

hhmmm... I had a look, but ist seems like, that it's just for mass file import... Or am I wrong?

Isn't there anything else?

huh? The very first sentence on the project page reads (emphasis added):

Imagefield Import allows users with the proper permissions to import a large number of images into a CCK content type which contains a filefield or an imagefield.

sorry, I tested several ways an confused the problems...
I meant that I can't reference a file which I uploaded by ftp. IMCE doesn't recognize it, its not the the database....

Or do I have to change something, that it recognizes also those files?

Sorry -- now I'm totally confused. This is the first mention you make of imce which is completely different. Once you figure out exactly what you want to do post back with the details.
