File Managment

Post by Shadow »

Just a quick question that im having trouble finding the answer for but is there a way to manage and delete uploaded files via the back end of Phoca Download?

while i was setting up this extension on one of my websites i uploaded some files to the wrong folder. as i tried to fix my mistake i couldn't find any means of moving the files from folder to folder nor could i work out how to delete the files.

the only way i could move or delete the files was to access the server by ftp rather than been able to make the changes through the extension that i uploaded them with. this in my mind is a little inconvenient and i don't really trust handing out the ftp passwords to other people so that they can manage the files. im too worried that they might delete the wrong folder and crash the site.

i am running the latest version of phoca download.

i really like this extension but it needs a way to manage the files better. if there is a method that i dont know about could someone please be kind enough to tell me.

Thanks.

Hi, in Phoca Download there is no file manager, for this you should use ftp or if you don't want to switch to ftp, you should use web file manager (some of them can be run in joomla directly) - see extensions.joomla.org for file managers.
