Im looking for an out of the box solution to be able to add an upload form so that my users can upload large files from my website onto my own FTP server.
Has anyone found a good service to accomplish this? Again I want to be able to use my own server in my office and i also need a form attached to the uploaded file.
I run a graphics printing company and need to be able to receive large files that my designers send to me.
I want my user experience to be painless and not complicated as possible so i would prefer if they did not have to download any FTP clients like filezilla or transmit.
I just want them to fill out the form
upload their files
click send
then i receive it on my server
If there is any off the shelves solution for this that would be amazing.
Thank you!
I guess this is an "out of the box" web app. It allows you to brand the app to look like your own web site by modifying a couple of files. All the functionality is built in. It is called Simple2FTP and can be found at www.Simple2ftp.com
Maintaining a ftp server is not trivial. There are various dropbox-type services on the
web that are very easy to use.

here's my situation:
I have a paint like tool
I want users of the tool to be able to download their creation
I don't want the user to be able to read or open the file
The user needs to upload the same image file to another tool
My problem is i can't make the first tool and third one work in unisson so users definitely need to first click download to then click upload on the other third party tool.
Does this seem possible to any of you? To have a way to protect the downloadable file so that the only option is to upload it to the 2nd tool ?
I hope this was clear enough
Thanks for your help in these dark times, cheers :)
There is no "secure" way. Because we're talking about protection, we will not discuss semi-secure ways.
I see only these options:
Encrypt the file. The other service need the encryption key. It needs to be known before or service a tells it service b in the background (without the client)
Send the file directly from service a to service b.
Service b is pulling the data from service a. You transfer-url could be transmitted via the client, if service a is checking the source IP (so only service b is able to download the file from service a).
I'm trying to set up a zap that will pull an e-mail attachment from OWA (Outlook Web Access) and upload it to my organization's web site. The only pre-configured FTP option is BrickFTP, and I'd like to avoid getting another service involved if possible. Is there a way to perform an FTP upload from Zapier to an FTP server other than BrickFTP?
I would love to see this feature in Zapier!! In the meantime, integromat does have an FTP integration that works well.
About integromat [aff]:
the learning curve is much steeper than zapier, and the interface is complex! This complexity offers cool features like arrays: If you take the time to learn it you can have a really powerful setup.
The free plan is highly functional, but make sure you don't accidentally eat up your 1000 action allowance with, for example, an email integration that goes off for every message.
You can make integromat work nicely with Zapier. I have a sequence where Podio triggers a Zap that adds Folders to dropbox, then my integromat scenario sends the new folder structure to my FTP server.
This is an old post but several of us have viewed it so I thought I'd offer the solution that's working for me. Hope it helps some of you!
I create a little web system, written on PHP. Now we want to allow our clients to access out little system. On each job, they must upload one or more files (100-200 mb max size per file). Till now, i upload them via PHP component to server, but we have a lot of trouble with our ISP, and i decide to use free Google drive account. So, i read tutorials, but i can not understand clearly:
Is there a way to upload file from client browser directly to Google drive, without upload to our server first? As far as I see, i can use php library to operate with my Google drive and upload files, but - unfortunately - files must be on out server first, which is my big problem.
Big thanks in advance for every one which can help us.
Direct upload from javascript to Drive is very easy. Check out the Drive Picker at https://developers.google.com/picker/docs/ which does everything for you.
I am writing a service as part of which a user chooses an image from a url (not my domain) and later he and others can view that image.
I need to save this image to a third party server (S3).
After a lot of wasted time I found I can not do it from the client side due to security issues (I can't get the third party image data and send it from the client side without alerting the client, which is just bad)
I also do not want to do the uploading on my server because I run Rails on Heroku and the workers expansive.
So I though of two options:
use something like transloadit.com,
or write a service on EC2 that will run over my db, find where the rows where the images are not uploaded and upload them.
I decided to go for the EC2 and S3 because the solution i am writing is meant for enterprise and it seems that it will sound better as part of the architecture when presented to customers.
My question is: what is the setup i need so I can access the Heroku db from an external service?
Any better ideas on how to solve this?
So you want to effectively write a worker, but instead of doing it on Heroku you want to do it on EC2? That feels like more work.
As for the database, did you see the documentation? It shows how to get the URL.
PS. Did you not find it in the docs?
How do I share files (music, video, image) create by my app? I am interested in sharing audio file specifically.
Imagine I have a program that generates wav file.
How do I take it from isolated storage?
Is it possible to sent an attachment with e-mail?
Save it on SkyDrive?
Share on Facebook?
Put it to media library?
At least in some convenient for a user way to take it out from WP7 device?
Any help regarding this topic would be welcome
You cannot directly send it as an attachment through the EmailComposerTask, however you can use your own implementation of an email sending mechanism.
You can save it to SkyDrive, but then again you have to use a custom API layer (developed by you or by a third-party) to achieve this.
A better choice in my opinion would be having a WCF service that will transmit the byte array of the generated content to a specific location - this will ultimately give you more control over the transmission layer.
You can save images to the MediaLibrary - from where you can access it via the Zune Software and transfer to PC, etc.
This can be done with the MediaLibrary.SavePicture method. (Yes, this is an XNA method but it can be used from within a Silverlight application also.)
The other alternative is to upload it to a webserver and send it from there.
There is currently no way to save songs or movies.
How to upload a file to a webserver very much depends on: the server; the software it is running; and any security concerns realting to the content.
There is the start of a discussion on this at Uploading XML files from WP7, possible, how to etc?
