    This plugin has the potential to be amazing for me. I didn’t see the bit about it not working in IIS before I installed it, so I blindly went about creating my first pages.

    I can tell you that creating directory listings which are downloadable is a snap and works perfectly in IIS. Unfortunately I cannot get it to upload.

    If anyone else has cracked this on server 2012 and IIS 8 (yeah I know I really should learn linnux and Apache but hey, I have a big bucket list to get through) please share.

    And Thom, I would encourage you to get this working on that platform. There must be lots of others like me (well maybe not)

    Ok – it seems the uploaded file is not inheriting the permissions set at the receiving folder level so the only person allowed to see them is the server administrator. Once I had gone into the server and manually reset the permissions, the files immediately became visible and downloadable.

    Reminder. Windows server 2012 with his 8.5

    Well you’re the only one who’s ever brought that up. File Away doesn’t touch file permissions.

    Could be a php thing or an IIS thing. I came across this post but changing the temp upload file in php.ini hasn’t worked (for me) so far.

    are there any lines of code in your plugin that specify a temporary folder for uploads? If so then I’ll need to ensure the permissions are set correctly on that.

    Reading up, it looks like when moving a file from a temp folder to the main folder, the permissions from the temp folder are inherited (unless the main folder happens to be on a different drive) this seems to be a bizarre microsoft thing and not really your problem, but any help would be appreciated.

    if you’re relying on (windows) php.ini to route the upload, then I need to do a bit more digging to figure out why it’s not happening

    Yes, all files go to the default temp folder first. The default temp folder as determined by your server.

    Anyone following this, change the permissions on windows/temp
