Is there any way a new image upload from a PHP form sent to directory a can be copied to directory b after it has been uploaded? In this case it's not possible to alter the upload path itself or copy it during upload so I'm looking for some kind of automatic replication of new directory contents into another directory after the file has been uploaded.
Is there an automated service/script that can move the content of one directory on our server to another directory? We upload files to www.mysite.com/upload/thumb for example but need them to be moved automatically to www.mysite.com/cs/upload/thumb - is this possible without running a move_uploaded_file PHP script (I would prefer it to be done by the server because we use the same page for many different landing page functions).
do you look for copy (http://php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php)?

I want to use RoxyFileMan to manage uploaded images and files. But I should save them on the server. As you know, RoxyFileMan Upload uploads files and images in a folder named Uploads in a fileman directory. We can change FILES_ROOT to another local path to change the directory files get uploaded to.
But, I want to upload files on the server and then read them from the server after they've been uploaded so that they can be edited in ckeditor.
Can anyone please provide advice/guidance on how to achive this outcome?
It's not very clear how your question is meant, but if I understand you correctly, you are using RoxyFileMan on a local server and want to upload files to a remote online server, right?
Roxy uploads files to a directory on the server it is run from. Which means if run from localhost, it will use directory on your localhost. If run from a server, it will use a directory on server.
As far as my knowledge goes, you cannot upload from a localhost to an online server directly.
You could maybe achieve that using some custom script to open an FTP connection, but then you would have to also remake all the code to also load images from there... which would be rather silly.
Individual Folder create for each user when they register on website outside the webroot folder.I am able to upload the image and store Image path in database.However,I am unable to display the Image. I am trying to get the path of Image from database using LINQ and display in VIEW but it does not work. I can view only one(from the list of Image)Image when FILESTREAM the image path and retrun using FILESTREAMRESULT
Can anyone please guide me how to achieve it? All I want to do is create folder for each respective user when they register in external folder. Upload Image and display.
Typically, I would keep files in a secure database or within the application's subfolders. But, here's what I would suggest if you really need to access a different folder on the server.
Create a folder on your server's file system ahead of time.
On the server, assign permissions to that folder so that the identity used by your application can access it.
In your code, write code to access the folder and file path.
Hope that helps!
p.s. here's another Q&A on StackOverflow (with some words of warning) in which the second part of the answer is similar to what I suggested.
ASP.NET - Reading and writing to the file-system, outside the application
I'm trying to upload a folder to a ftp server using Overbyte Ics Ftp component.
From what I understand there is no built in function to upload a folder containing files and sub-folders to a ftp so I have to create a recursion in order to upload them all into one call.
What is the correct approach to this problem?
I'm thinking about doing this:
scan the local folder that I want to upload and separate folders from files
for each folder name check if exists on the ftp. If not exists the create it
after creating all folders to the ftp server check if local file exists on the ftp. If not exists start uploading the file to the created directory.
Is this the proper way to do it?
Is there an easier approach to this task?
Thank you!
I have an application that downloads a dozen HTML files one by one to the cache directory. But I now need to download all contents on a folder from my server to the cache directory, they will all be images.
I don't know if it is a different approach, I can probably accomplish it by specifying each filename but I don't want to have to do that.
I am using AFNetworking, any direction would be great!
How can I display an image from file object? The file object holds the location of the image in temp uploaded directory.
I dont want to use any models.
Its for previewing a form having filefield
The problem with most temporary files is that they don't exist. They're in a deleted state and will disappear entirely once the file handle is closed. It's your responsibility to move copy the data out of them and into another file, database, or cache, whatever works best, in order to preserve it.
You don't need to use any models to make this work, but you will need to be able to write to a directory your web server will be able to access. Typically you can make a /uploads directory and copy the file there, removing it later on when it is no longer required.
That clean-up step is easily done by a cron job that deletes all files with an mtime of a day or so, depending on your preference.
