Question about TP download section

[InfiniteSpawn]

Hey everyone. I will soon be creating my own forum and I was just wondering about the download section with tiny portal. Will I be able to give my members an unlimited number of uploads and file size? A site that I was recently part of also had the download section, but if you tried to upload anything over a MB, it wouldn't work.

Thanks in advance.

The easiest way to do it is upload the file directly to your TP downloads folder via FTP,then install it thru admin>download manager.Then assign it to what category you want it to be in.

But the members should not have ftp access ....

It depends on 3 things: upload limit in TP, general upload limit by the server and the script execution time set by PHP. Normally server set only 2-3 mb, and execution time is 30 seconds. So you see its not enough to just set TP upload to a big size.

Can you explain how to uploads files via FTP?
Thx

You as admin (or the ones that have access to your server through FTP) have access to FTP upload to tinyportal.
TP itself doesent have any FTP built in.

When you upload a file manually to tp-downloads folder through your ftp, you can then through TP add it in to your downloadsection from the download manager/ftp section.
The file will be visible there and you click and set it to where you want it to be downloadable and save the file.
