Other Help Topics :: Uploading Files



I have created a way i can upload files using php but i cannot upload the files because of the security settings the folder i'm trying to upload it to is opt/lampp/etc so it's a system folder i believe i cann't change that so anyone can edit these files.

I've though about installing a ftp server on dsl so i could transfer files across from windows to dsl (my coding computer) but again i cannot install any ftp server due to my lack of knowledge it would be great if someone could help me out with either of the two.

Cheers in advance,

Can you change what directory is used for uploads? It seems to me that an etc directory would be a bad thing to make writable for all.

What type of application is lampp? a uci?
lampp is just xampp for linux, install it and you can run php scipts, sql database etcs on your linux box.

I can since i'm using the code
Code Sample
<?php
if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000000))
 {
 if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
   {
   echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
   }
 else
   {
   echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
   echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
   echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
   echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

   if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
     {
     echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
     }
   else
     {
     move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
     "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
     echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
     }
   }
 }
else
 {
 echo "Invalid file";
 }
?>

But this is where i want the code to be, where would i upload it too? which would be able to be uploaded? if i can get it onto my dsl pc then i can move it i surpose although i'd rather a direct uplaod their.
mikshaw isn't asking about what the application does, but rather what kind of mydsl extension you loaded.

What do you mean by "this is where i want the code to be"?  First, make sure that upload/ directory exists and is writeable.  If you're not sure, just try /tmp instead.

As for a ftpd, I believe betaftpd is included in the base DSL image, unless you were thinking of another package?
I have managed to get it running but id unno wht the username and password's are?

where would the files go to? what location on linux? could i change the location? so when i upload them they will automatically go to the correct location?
