uploading file

I think you are confusing this plugin with another one. Redirect It is a redirection system and doesn’t work with file downloads directly.

You could use it to upload files using another method and then link to it using this redirection system. I am wondering if you are referring to my Share Files plugin?

Well you could use Redirect It to share files but it is really a redirection system.

No problem. You caught me sitting at my workstation!

Yeah there is no built in file uploader. As stated in the FAQ:

Is there a web browser based uploader?
No, there is none. Why not? This system was originally designed for a site that has many files of at least 15MB and several over 200MB. Since web browser uploading does NOT handle large files (100MB+) very efficiently it was decided to skip the inclusion of one and instead rely on FTP or sFTP.

I may eventually put one in but at present there is none. You’ll need to use another method like WordPress’ built in media manager or FTP for the actual files.

Sure. I understand for some this isn’t ideal. However if you have trusted users, then on most hosting plans, you can create additional FTP accounts that are locked to a specific directory. That is what the project this plugin was designed for does.

So something like:

yoursite.tld/downloads/directory for trusted user one
yoursite.tld/downloads/directory for trusted user two

I am going to mark this topic resolved. If you have further questions feel free to post them.
