File upload destination, file upload size limit and securely downloading.

  1. Hi,

    I added a file upload field to my form. http://www.transcribe-this.com/contact/

    Firstly - how do I change the file upload limit? (What is the default upload limit btw?) I expect the form to be primarily used to upload large audio files.

    2) How do I set the destination folder? I want to be able to download the files securely (I have an SSL certificate installed on the site). I'm guessing if I know what folder they're being stored in I can use ftps to download them?

    3) How do I get the form to display a message when the upload fails? When I tested the form and uploaded a music file, it all looked to me - the user - as if it had been uploaded fine. It's only when I logged back into the website to look for the entry I realised it hadn't worked.

    4) I was looking at another post when my connection failed and I can't find it now! It raised the issue that I need to password protect the upload folder and force users to log in, then to use ftps to download from that folder. Any pointers on how to do this?

    Many thanks, Sian.

  2. Please help! I still haven't managed to resolve this issue. I went for a paid for plugin for the support I thought I'd get...

    BTW I've changed web hosting since then and waiting for the new SSL certificate, but still need an answer to move forward once that's implemented.
