Iptanus File Upload
Front-end file uploads for WordPress
Let visitors upload files from any page, post or sidebar widget — into your Media library, or straight to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3 or an FTP server.
What it does
A form on any page
One shortcode, or a Gutenberg block. Add your own fields, filter by size, extension or user role, and run several forms in the same post.
Files go where you need
The Media library, a NextGEN gallery, an FTP server or a cloud account. Large files upload in chunks, past the server’s own limit.
You see what arrives
A file browser and activity log in the dashboard, email notifications on upload, and a viewer your logged-in users can see too.

Problem with deleting uploaded files in WordPress File Upload Control Panel>File browser.
I see list of uploaded files, but I can’t check it for deleting.
See uploaded screen-shot.
How to solve it?
Hi, is this a screenshot of the Dashboard File Viewer for logged users, or the Dashboard File Browser only visible to administrators?
Problem with cirillic names of uploaded files.
For Example name – Тестовое название.pdf
Get name in uploaded directory ———————————.pdf
Hi, by default non-latin characters, as well as other special characters are “sanitized” for maximum compatibility with all web servers. However, there is an option in the visual editor of the shortcode, called Do Not Change Filename. If you enable it, the Cyrillic characters will remain.
Thanks!
I add shortcode: forcefilename=”true”
and my cirillic names start upload correct
1st I have to say I really love this plugin. Everything works great but for some reason I cant get my files to upload to my FTP account.
I installed the plugin last night and made sure it would upload to my FTP client. Worked well. Sent 1 file. The next day it would not send anything there any more. I’ve tried everything. Even Uninstalled the plug in and reinstalled.
I keep getting:
“Warning: file_get_contents(https://services2.iptanus.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php): failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home2/jacktre/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-upload/lib/wfu_functions.php on line 2032″
at the top of the plugin.
it works well when on “Normal” but when using FTP is says “Upload failed!
Upload failed! Unknown error.
[wordpress_file_upload fitmode=”responsive” createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”instinctradio:xxxxxxxxx@209.133.216.3″]
are you getting this warning when trying to upload a file or it is irrelevant?
Not sure if it matters with the FTP upload because it still uploads the normal way. It just sits at the top of the main page on the plugin. I only get the Upload failed!
Upload failed! Unknown error” when tryng to upload through FTP.
I was thinking I may need to reinstall to fix any missing files in the plug in but it says the same thing when I reinstall. It even still has my settings….
This warning is probably irrelevant. Can you please ask your host if they have ModSecurity enabled for your domain and if there are any errors generated when you open the main page of the plugin?
Regarding the FTP error, are you sure that the credentials are Ok? Does the username or password contain characters like [at] symbol (@) or colon (:)? If not, please enable Passive mode and try again.
Let me know on results.
Nickolas
Credentials are right. I used them on Filzilla and it worked
instinctradio:xxxxxxxxx@209.xxx.216.3 is what I used.
It use to say the FTP file path but now I cant get it to change from “Location: root/wp-content/uploads/”.
Sorry I didn’t quite understand what you mean…
Sorry if im not explaining myself clear enough. Ill try again…
The credentials are right. I know the credentials are right because I used them with Filezilla. But I using the credentials in the right format?
The credentials I use is instinctradio:xxxxxxxxx@209.xxx.xxx.3
When I look at the “File Browser” it still shows that the location says : Location: root/wp-content/uploads/. Shouldn’t It say the FTP path instead?
The message I’m getting is: “Upload failed! Unknown error”.
What should I look into?
The File Browser is not related to the path you have set in the shortcode. What is the shortcode you are using?
The short code that am trying to use is:
[wordpress_file_upload fitmode=”responsive” maxsize=”20″ accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”instinctradio:xxxxxxxxx@209.xxx.216.3″ ftppassivemode=”true” adminmessages=”true” placements=”title/subfolders/message/userdata/selectbutton/filename/uploadbutton” uploadtitle=”Submit Music Here” requiredlabel=”*” notify=”true” notifyrecipients=”%userdata1%,Request@InstinctRadio.net” notifyheaders=”Music Submission To Instinct Radio ” notifysubject=”File Upload Successful” notifymessage=”Dear %userdata2%,%n%%n%Your song has been received and intered into our request data base at Instinct Radio. It should be available for rotation within 24 hours. Please have all your fans to go to InstinctRadio.net and request your song. All requested songs will be played within a few minutes of the request but only the MOST requested songs will remain in rotation. %n%%n%Thank You.

Please tell my why it will not upload.
There is an option called Use FTP Domain. Please activate it (and also disable passive mode). What is the directory in your ftp where you want files to go?
The web page its on is:
http://instinctradio.net/popup-player-html/
please check your version, you have the Free or Professional one? also check the page contents. Does it contain [wordpress_file_upload_browser] shortcode?
Hey Nick, everything is working well now. Turning on the “Use FTP Domain” and fixing my file path did the trick. Thanks for a great plugin!!!
