Local file import has been added to Tiki 10.x
This functionality enables the integration of very large files into Tiki. The import is not bound by upload limits, a local file copy is used. So, any file that it's possible to copy locally within max execution time can fit into Tiki.
Handling very large files inside Tiki should make it easier to integrate large video files.
It is possible to integrate files in
- File gallery
- Wiki page attachment
This functionality is only available to admins via the admin panel,
and can only be used when the storage type is File system (i.e. not Database).
Possible upload scenario
1) Upload very-large-file via FTP to the web server
2) Use "Import local file" to add the file to Tiki.
The source file is specified by path. That is, the file location on the web server machine.
Note: There is currently no limitation as to which files that can be copied, given the user rights.
The module can open up access to non-web parts of the system, by copying "other files" into the File Gallery, then downloading them.
Maybe it needs some kind of block for systems that don't want such functionality present.
