To allow a remote user uploading files from external server, check ‘allow upload from online’ in the account settings (‘Create new account’ or ‘Modify account’ windows in the administration module, or corresponding pages in remote administration web interface). This checkbox works together with ‘enable upload’ option. If ‘enable upload’ checkbox is not checked, upload is not permitted at all. If ‘enable upload’ is checked, but ‘allow upload from online’ is not, then remote user can upload files from his/her local computer only.
If both ‘enable upload’ and ‘allow upload from online’ are checked, remote user can type URL of any file on external http and ftp server to the corresponding field in the ‘Upload’ window. If file exists, Remote Files SE will download and save it. ‘Overwrite duplicated files’ or ‘save duplicated files with new names’ options are supported.
When download starts, uploading file appears in the directory listing page. Unlike upload from local computer, the server shows the file in directory listing even while it is loading. User can control upload progress by refreshing directory listing until file size stops increasing for a some period of time. During upload the server blocks any attempt to delete this file.
One remote user can start any number of online uploads. Several users may start uploads at the same moment. Files are loaded simultaneously and available bandwidth is divided between tasks equally. This is not a problem for http, but may be such if a user starts simultaneous uploads from one ftp server that does not allow several active sessions from one IP address.
Remote Files SE supports ftp or http authorization. It can take account information from file URL as follows:
ftp://username:userpassword@ftpserver.com/path/filename
or http://username:userpassword@httpserver.com/path/filename
