URL upload doesn't work

[JasperE]

Hello!

The URL-Upload doesn't work. -> "Couldn't open URI"

From what I read on this board I guess I have to allow url-uploads in an ini-file, but couldn't find the file mentioned in those posts...

If the server isn't yours to configure (i.e. if you're not the server admin), then you can't change the allow_url_fopen policy imposed by your webhost in php.ini (php.ini usually resides outside of your webroot). URI uploads is a silly feature in the first place - I wouldn't be alarmed if it doesn't work on your server setup. You (as admin) should use FTP-upload plus batch-add anyway. For details, do exactly as suggested in the upload troubleshooting section of the docs.

Thanks for the answer!
Yes, php.ini is the file I searched but couldn't find and I'm using free Webspace.

This leads to another question:
How can I delete the URL upload in the Uploading mask?
