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.

Hi Nickolas,
I’m close to buying this plugin but I wanted to make sure this can do what I want as this is the only plugin I’ve researched that comes remotely close in the description. This is whats on my job input sheet:
—
The guys need an easy to use drag and drop application
They want to remove, add or relocate files easily by the administrator
This is a password protected area
User Name will be the company name ( Is there a character count that we need to stay with in ? )
Password will most likely be a job number
There needs to be a responder to the client with a letter that has two fields in only that the client can get that has their USERNAME and PASSWORD that anybody dealing with the job can assign to a customer.

Thanks for any info you can give.
Hi Troy, this is a front-end file upload plugin, so it will allow users to upload files to the website from a page or post. What is this password protected area? Is it at the Dashboard, or a front-end page?
Nickolas
from my understanding what they mean by password protected area is that when the user is on the page (front-end) where they upload files, they must first login on the front-end to upload files. Also with their password they will be only able to see the files authorized to that password. Can this plugin do all this?
The plugin stores information about the user who uploads a file. So, the file viewer (included in the plugin) can be configured to show to that user only its own files. Is this want they want?
Nickolas
I’m thinking it’s close to what I’m looking for as long as when the user puts in his info they ONLY see their files and not the backend of the site. I guess I’m a little confused on where the user would view the files. Would they be on the same page where I put the login for the plugin? Do you have a demo site I can look at?
The Pro version includes a file viewer that can be added in any page or post, just like the upload form. It will show the uploaded files and it is very flexible and configurable, so that it displays only the files of the currently logged user. You can have a look at http://staging.iptanus.com/test/ where I have the upload form and the file viewer on the same page.
Nickolas
Is it possible to show a browser message after uploading?
Hi, what do you mean “browser message”?
Regards
Nickolas
Message after upload for example a JavaScript Message.
Yes wfu_after_upload hook allows to add Javascript, you have the Pro version (instructions change)?
Nickolas
For example a javascript message.
I’m having difficulty uploading files to my ftp site with a “Upload failed! Unknown error” message. I believe the naming convention is correct. I also have “ftp domain” turned on and “passive mode” turned off. Can you please advise? Here is the code I’m using:
[wordpress_file_upload uploadpatterns=”*.zip, *.eps, *.jpg, *.mp3, *.pdf, *.png, *.gif, *.tif, *.psd, *.ai, *.indd” maxsize=”60″ accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”kdbmxxxxxxx:Password@ftp.kdbmediaworks.com” useftpdomain=”true” askforsubfolders=”true” subfoldertree=”{root}/{Wordpress_Uploads}” placements=”title/filename+selectbutton+uploadbutton/subfolders/userdata/message/progressbar” widths=”userdata:150%, message:150%” heights=”title:200%, filename:200%, selectbutton:200%, uploadbutton:200%, uploadfolder_label:200%, progressbar:200%, userdata:200%, userdata_label:200%, message:400%” userdata=”true” userdatalabel=”Your Name|t:text|s:left|r:0|a:0|p:inline|d:/Your Email|t:email|s:left|r:0|a:0|v:1|p:inline|d:|g:0/Phone Number|t:text|s:left|r:0|a:0|p:inline|d:/Message|t:multitext|s:left|r:0|p:inline”]
Hi, try first without subfolders (set askforsubfolders to false). Will it work?
Nickolas
It did not work without subfolders so I started over to simplify things. This is my new code that still does not work. Does it matter if it is a “sftp”? Can you please advise? Thank you!!
[wordpress_file_upload accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”kdbm41xxxxxx:password@ftp.kdbmediaworks.com”]
Yes if it is sftp it will not probably work. Unfortunately sftp is not supported by the plugin yet. What if you try ftpinfo=”kdbm41xxxxxx:password@ftp.kdbmediaworks.com:22″ ?
