I am using EE 1.7

Is it possible to assign members to certain upload destination folders on my web server?

I am wanting to have members only upload photos to their own designated folder for myself (the admin) to be able to then download those photos.  Similar to a ftp setup within EE.

Have a limited amount of ftp users on my hosting and my members will exceed that.

Thanks

I don’t know of a way to do specifically what you are asking. But you could use a SAEF, and then use it to publish a page that’s visible only to the author and administrators. That page could then contain the links to the photos, thumbnails, etc. Could that work?

This would create a new entry correct?

Correct, but you could put them in a new weblog/channel that is only visible to you, or to you and the author. It doesn’t have to show up on your site for ordinary visitors.

do you mind if i send you a message via skype?

i havent worked with saef to much

Hi Bell Design,

As cafenoir said, there isn’t any built-in way to do this. I’ll move this thread to the CodeShare Corner.

Cafenoirs suggestion of using saef for the site might be a bit much for the number of members I am going to have for this site.

Is there a way to allow certain members to use the built-in EE uploader to upload files?

If you are using a dedicated file fieldtype then you could create membergroup-specific publish page layouts, one with the file field visible and one without.
