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.

Hello.
My problem with upload to external ftp server – not same domain as wordpress.
Shortcode:
[wordpress_file_upload uploadpath=”Uploads/%username%” uploadrole=”administrator,author” maxsize=”1000″ createpath=”true” accessmethod=”ftp” ftpinfo=”xxx\:xxx\@ftp3.taniadrukarnia.eu” useftpdomain=”true” dublicatespolicy=”maintain both” adminmessages=”true” forceclassic=”true” debugmode=”true” widths=”progressbar:300px” heights=”progressbar:10px”]
File size < 100 kB
This plugin creates a directory, but does not upload the file.
Answer:
Upload failed!
Targer folder doesn't exist.
Failed upload path: ftp://xxx:xxx@ftp3.taniadrukarnia.eu/Uploads/slasze/4062759009.pdf
Username and password do not contain special characters (:;!@ etc.)
Where do bug?
Slasze
Is ftp3.taniadrukarnia.eu/Uploads/slasze/ the correct folder where the files should go? Have you checked with an FTP client to see that it does exist?
Yes, the directory is correct and can see it by ftp client. “Uploads” directory I created, and the subdirectory “slasze” created a plugin – variable “%username%”.
I have just removed the subfolder “slasze” and run plugin. Subfolder “Uploads/slasze” has been created, but the file transfer failed.
ftp server log:
“mar 14 09:19:55 serwer proftpd[11694] serwer.taniadrukarnia.eu (31.170.166.21[31.170.166.21]): FTP session opened.

Trying to upload a larger file 11MB.
” Upload failed! Unknown error.
Failed upload path: Arts_black_and_white.rar
fileupload:
Request Entity Too Large
The requested resource
/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.”
It seems that it is not exercised direct the client to the ftp server, but the file is sent to the hosting with wordpress POST method and only with the server you are connecting with ftp.
So does this plugin:
My computer –> (POST method) –> WordPress hosting –> (??? method) –> ftp server
So it probably should look like:
My computer –> (tunnel created by plugin – FTP method) –> ftp server
Hi
It seems that the plugin is only visible when i am logged in as admin. As soon as i log out, the file upload button on the page disappears. Is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks
Yes, this is the default behavior of the plugin. It allows upload of files only to admins. To allow other roles to upload files as well (so the plugin will be visible to them) set attribute uploadrole, e.g. uploadrole=”editor, author”. To allow everyone to upload files (even guests) set uploadrole=”all”….
Hello,
I’m trying to use WP File Upload (pro) but i’m unable to upload a file. Even with a basic shortcode.
Failed upload path: img.jpg
fileupload:Session failed!
Session Data:
Array ( )
Post Data:
Array ( [action] => wfu_ajax_action [params_index] => F6QOqyj6FmXbxrxw [subdir_sel_index] => -1 [captcha_challenge] => _0 [chunk_data] => 0,0,0,0, [session_token] => 71553351753277a01a53405.38186980 [unique_id] => g2JoIToqt6 )
I’m using WP 3.8.1 with the Divi Theme from Elegant Theme.
On the same server but in another site with the same version of wordpress, the plugin works.
Anyone can help me please ?
Thanks
Hi, I see that session array is empty. This usually happens because another plugin clears session variables (which should not happen). Can you please deactivate your other plugins and try again?
