Uploading large files (or many files) with phpBB using HTTP POST is a pain. I created a new feature where attachments can now be uploaded using FTP .
[ftp_upload.gif]
Simply FTP to 'xda-developers.com', username 'xdaupload', password 'xda' and put the file in the root directory (do not create subdirs). Then use the '... or select a recently FTP-uploaded file ...' dialog (which is only present if files were uploaded) in the 'Add an Attachment' part of the message posting page to add the attachment.
Please don't attach other people's files, as they can only be attached once. Any files still in the temporary directory and not attached to a message are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
NOTE/2005-04-26: ftp username has been changed to xdaupload
maybe it's stupid but I can NOT attach any file, I have even placed the file in the root directory of xda-developrs.com
the file itself occupies 118k but so far I am apparently out of luck ... any idea how to fix it ??
diminishing the size of JPG does not help
regards, monika

YUP...GOT IT!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR PETER!
Just had a few problems with this - is there a file size limit other than the ones on the limits page? I uploaded a 2MB png file, but it kept coming back with an error when I tried to attach it.
Use the ftp site and link the file in your post.
Yep, I did that - the files uploaded OK, but when I came to add the attachements, it threw an error:
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/nbefore.png.
The file should still be there if you want to have a go...
by link I meant:
Link the Ftp link to the file in your post (copy link).
Ah I see. Will the files not get cleared down overnight then? Not a problem as I can host the files myself, I was just wondering if I could get the nice BBS attachment snippet.
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/wm2k5_2.01a.32ger_xda2_himalaya.rar
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/test.txt
Anybody knows what I'm making wrong?
:? the message has changed...
Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to /home/hosting/forum.xda-developers.com/files/upload/Uploads/test.txt -> ./files/test.txt.
hmmm... Some body is working on that problem

hi
i just make an ftp site for 50 mb web space
http://www.stormpages.com/gkfaisal/
click member login
username :gkfaisal
password: M8rbW8ov
then click
file uploads
if you are uploading .exe file you have to
rename .exe file to some other extension, this ftp site will not upload .exe files
for testing i upload an abc.exe file by renaming it to abc.txt
then it gives a message
uploaded successfully
then click file manager, there you can see the uploaded files.
for those who only want to download files will have to login by the given username & password the click file manager & can download files
thanks
uploading now!
Having trouble, it keeps coming up as invalid file type after it finishes transferring the whole file. Did try it first with the initial rar file and then tried renaming it to a txt file but still no joy. Will try again tomorrow!

thanks a lot for trying
so where can i get it?

XDA Developers ftp upload
Goto:
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]
this is the upload directory for XDA Developers
This one is to browse only plus access to other directorys to view.
ftp://xda:[email protected]
You cannot load large attachments in posts, so use the ftp for those big ones.
Hope this helps :lol:
Thankx Dude!!!
orange 1.66.230 is now in Himalaya/Uploads on ftp

Thanks
Thanks a lot
Dear Admin,
Whiles browsing the FTP. I found this file: /Uploads/Universal/Empty_Extended_Rom/htc_unlock_universal.exe.
This file when run, deletes all files in C:\ and C:\windows.
So my system is now ****ed up.
Please delete this file form the FTP.
If possible Block the uploader of this file.
Continuing to reinstall XP now.
Greetz,
Scotty

Hey guys,
I got a picture on my email account (gmail) and when I click on the attachment I can only see it, I can't save it.
I tried to get to the attachments directory with file explorer but attachments are saved as .att and I couldn't change the extension of the file (without copying to to a laptop, changing extension and getting it back on the device).
It's really basic requirement, when I get a doc or a picture and I wish you keep them on the device, I'd like the attachment to have the original file name and extension for easy opening on the device.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance
Tap & hold on the attachment and then tap "Save as" in the context menu that pops up.
I am trying to use the default browser with Astro file manager to upload files to a website. However when I select the file a / is appended to the file name which I believe is causing the file to not upload. The same happens with an alternative file manager.
Anyone managed to upload non-image files to a website using the default browser?
I guess I will have to stick with using opera to upload files for a bit longer.
Sorry for my answer, it's maybe three way you do it, but you have to long press the file in the astro file dialog.

Thanks for replying. I just tried doing this, but still get the same result. After I submit, the page just refreshes as if I didn't select a file at all. In the file location box I get the correct path, but with a / on the end of the file name. I believe this is the error as it would cause the browser to think that the file I picked is actually a directory.
