How to upload files in admin?

Hello, I have searched everywhere but cannot find any answer.

I have been trying to upload files such as flash, images and pdf to my webserver in admin control panel without the need to access cpanel or ftp coz I dun have access to both. These files are meant to be used in product description and ezpages. There is no way I can do it in HTMLarea. I was thinking about changing HTMLarea to Xinha if I still cannot find any solution.

Anyone has any advice or better solution? Thanks...

Anyone can help solving this problem?
I also need to upload PDF from admin directly to a specific folder, perhaps /uploads/

Thanks so much

Admin is not there for the purpose you describe.

You have to have both FTP and C-Panel if you want to manage your website properly.

If you don't have these services where you currently host your webstore, then change your host.

Is there not a mod available for this feature, I do have access to FTP and cpanel and I would still rather do it through the admin just to save time. It would also let more inexperienced user have the ability to add PDF's.

Once again...ADMIN is not there for this purpose... GOOD Ftp and domain manager programs exist... there's no reason to re-invent the wheel.

I have customers that need to be able to upload files and xinha is not only the perfect solution for that - it's also a better text editor than htmlarea and works with mozilla.

Never assume you know what someone else wants. As soon as I figure how to put xinha in, I'll let you know.

I did put up a Xinha contribution which does allow the uploading of images - there's some caveats - at present, doesn't work in every situation - see this thread

I'm using V1.3.8. I'm looking for the same kind of thing where you upload the download-able file directly on the attributes page.

Is there something like that already out? The reason I'm looking for this is that I have admins with selected permissions. They DO NOT have access to FTP to upload files.

no way to do that I know of but you can give ftp access to only one folder you know.

Thanks. Yeah, I know about the FTP. It think it can get confusing for some though. I'll keep looking, maybe I'll just get someone to make a mod for me if I can't find one.

Image Handler 2 lets you add additional images via a very nice interface in the admin console.
