I have a problem.
I installed coppermine on a webserver, but we don't want to activate http upload at all.
I wanted to know if there was a mod or something that uploads through FTP. We don't want coppermine to write on the webserver through HTTP.
Oh and I know that that might be a security problem, but anyway we only want the admin to have permission to do this. I know that we can do a Batch add from files that are on the FTP, but you still require Write access for the thumbnails and stuff.
Is there a way to fix that?
Thank you very much :)
There are no FTP mods for uploads. We don't believe it because of the security risk and so we won't pursue such a mod.
If you don't want Coppermine to do any writing to the server, then you'll have to create the thumbnails (thumb_) and normal (normal_) images yourself and upload them via FTP.
If only the admin will be uploading images, why do you worry about Coppermine writing to the server?
It's.... quite a long story...
We're a windows server. And the guy who has the coppermine site has a certain amout of space on the server, controlled by the FTP server. If he uploads through coppermine, it bypasses the limit...
But we recommend that the admins upload by ftp anyway. Then use the batch add utility.
Please read the docs on this.
Using workarounds to bypass limits may be a violation of your webhost TOS. So the account may get suspended, or if the webhost finds a way to stop the workaround, you will have a broken gallery on your hands.

Yeah I did try that but doing that, I get an error saying that 'Unable to create thumbnail'....
Same problem I guess..
And ya Tranz that's the case...
if coppermine can't create the thumbnail, you haven't set up an image library to use with coppermine - it needs either GD or ImageMagick set up properly to work. Please refer to the documentation (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php) and FAQ (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php).
