Phoca Forum

Hi,

time after time the directories "/phocadownload" and "/phocadownloadpap" have a lot of old files (in my case, pdf files). Ho to remove these files from directories?

Thanks.

... without using FTP, naturally.

Hi , just delete the files from the directory "phocadownload" and "phocadownloadpap" and then delete the admin files in phoca within the joomla administration.

Excuse my English , I have helped you.

Thanks Guilherme,

but I need to know how physically remove some pdf file from /phocadownload and /phocadownloadpap directories, without using FTP.
I'm able to do it with FTP but my customer need to remove them without using FTP.

Hi, you can use file manager for this.

If you are using Joomla! 3, you can set in options of Phoca Download that if you will remove the file in administration it will be removed from server too.

But for better control over the files, the best way is to use file manager, try to test Phoca Commander:

Thanks Jan,

I have set to remove the pdf when I delete a file in PhocaDownload but it remove only the pdf in /phocadownload not in /phocadownloadpap.

You said "use the media manager" but it is not possible to set the root to view and operate in these folders.

I have installed PhocaCommander that is OK, but I don't understand why there are 2 lists ?

Hi, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manag ... e_managers

Dual pane managers are a classic form of managing files - it allows you to manage files on your PC or server easily, clearly and more much faster then with one pane (one list).

Without dual pane managers, I would never release any Phoca component because I would spend time with managing files on my PC or server

Ok, thanks a lot Jan.
