I have my users upload through an FTP, due to the host not allowing more than x minutes uploading via non-FTP.

I batch-add all the files and they end up under my name.  Any chance we might see a feature to change the file's author? Better yet, assign an author during batch-add files.

Others mustn't upload using FTP - they could easily ruin your entire site. That's why batch-add is an admin-only feature. I strongly recommend disabling FTP uploads for others.
You can't change ownership using Coppermine's user interface. You'll need a third-party app like phpMyAdmin and change the owner id there.

Yes I understand the risks - but it is for members of the site, and whom I trust.

Yes, I am currently updating via the mySQL database directly.

I'm just bringing this up for a possible feature in the next version.  It shouldn't be too hard to implement I think (just one more field to the Edit File).  Thanks if you guys add it. :)
