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 am using the plugin and I like it a lot. It was definitely the best plugin among the ones I was considering.
I do have a question though. My client is using a ftp server for their customers upload. Right now I have the upload path as %username% . Is there a way with this plugin that the plugin will automatically make the %username% folder on the server or will my client have to put the folder on the server manually before their customers can upload?
If you activate option “Create Upload Folder” in the shortcode, then the plugin will automatically create the upload folder if it does not exist.
Regards
Nickolas
Great. Sorry but I few a couple more questions.
With the above question. If i’m using ftp and I just have %username% in the upload path setting, it will then create the folder in the root folder on the ftp server. But if I want uploads in a uploads folder I would then have to type this in the upload path field: root/uploads/%username%. Is that correct?
My client is using a ftp server with the address of ftp://remote.zfake.com So my understanding from the documentation in order to point the uploads to the right place and give access in the settings I would put w:e@ftp//:remote.zfake.com Is that correct?
Also I just got the update. I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but is there documentation on how to update? When I upload the new update and try to install in it, it won’t install because obviously the folder already exists. But I don’t want to delete the old one and loose all my settings.
Hi, you put in the Upload Path the following: /uploads/%username%
FTP Credentials should be like this: w:e@remote.zfake.com
Regarding the update, this can be done automatically from Plugins area. Do you mean something else?
Regards
Nickolas
I know what you mean by it being in the Plugin area. But in my Plugin area under WordPress File Upload Pro it just looks normal. There is no automatic update notice. I’m running 3.11.0. The only reason I knew there was an update was from the WordPress File Upload Pro dashboard screen.
Ok you are running an old version, which at that time did not support auto-update. So here are the steps to update:
1. Deactivate and then delete the current version.
2. Log in to http://www.iptanus.com with your account, go to your order and download the latest version (4.3.1) from there.
3. Install the new version from the file and activate it.
Please note that your settings will not be lost.

Hi Nickolas,
I’m having a serious problem with the plugin when it comes to ftp. When I use it in normal mode it creates a folder in the upload folder with the username folder name, its great. But when I switch to ftp mode and try to upload a file with the upload path for example FTP Files/Fake Company/%username%, on the frontend of the site it says “Upload failed!
Targer folder doesn’t exist.” So I don’t know if it’s not creating folder or what? It created them when it was running through WordPress. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Can you send me the shortcode to check?
Nickolas
[wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”F:/FTP Files/Fake Company/%username%” fitmode=”responsive” uploadrole=”all” uploadpatterns=”*.pdf,*.jpg,*.doc,*.png,*.tif” createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”u:p@remote.fakecompany.com” uploadtitle=”Upload Files” uploadbutton=”Upload/Upload”]
Hi Nickolas,
Do you have any thoughts on this? I could really use help to get this working the same way it does when I run it through the site itself. Could it be something in the general setting of the plugin? Because I just left them default.
Hi, are you referring to the update of the plugin? I answered about it in my previous comment.
