alternative to downloads mod?

Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2005 9:21 pm

I am wondering if there's an alternative to the downloads module. I want to be able to upload documents/downloadable files without having to go in and put them in thru cpanel first. I can't do this with the downloads module because it requires a URL for the document.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Caution is recommended when allowing anyone else to upload to your server.

That said, have you looked at any of the upload modules / tweaks? Just do a search for upload in the downloads section here or at phpnukefiles.com.

Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! has this functionality, too.

Thanks, Xiode. Does it allow users to upload a file or only to specify a URL to the file?

I see on NukeStyles.com that upload is available in 2.1. Is it in 1.7?

Loaded 1.7 on a test server. It does not appear to allow uploads as the commercial version 2.1 does.

I use NSN GR Downloads which has you submitting a link the the resouce, but for a long time I used "My Uploads".

I really like "My Uploads" as you can define what uploads are permitted and all uploads go directly into a dedicated folder for each user.

It has a lot of control regarding what sizes are permitted, what types of files, etc... Administrators can also see every upload by every user.
