| Type of uploaded files |
There are several ways of uploading files to the server within uCoz. Uploading via File Manager. The most convenient way to upload files to the server is via File Manager. In this way you are able to see the list of files, create folders, search for files and upload several files to a certain directory simultaneously. It is also convenient to manage uploaded files (edit, view, re-name, remove, obtain the link). See more about File Manager here: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/37-14299-82295-16-1315308984 Uploading files via FTP Uploading files via FTP has a number of advantages. The first and the greatest advantage is that you can upload large files via FTP. You may upload stuff in folders via FTP. But FTP upload has some peculiarities as well.
See more about FTP connection here: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/37-2500-11129-16-1225288770 File-archive or attachments to entries This feature can be enabled in Control panel->Module settings->Fields of a new entry form (File Catalog, Online games, Ad Board). After checking the necessary boxes there, a feature of attaching files to the entry will appear in the module. The limitations of file attachment are the same as for File Manager. Attached files have one peculiarity. They can not be seen in the File Manager after uploading. And it means that editing or removing files will be impossible via File Manager. You may delete the attached to the entry file only when editing or removing this entry! Speaking about FTP or File Manager, it goes without saying that users must not have permissions to upload files. But file attachment is another pare of shoes. Some users might have such a permission. As there is no automatic way to monitor the type of the files user upload, the best solution is pre-moderation for the groups that are allowed to attach files. Note: When downloading files with exe extension, a warning will appear. This is the way the system reacts to those files. Users can safely continue the downloading process. Of course, they can refuse, if they want to. Torrent-files are changed after attaching them to the entry (the system adds other values). Torrent-files uploaded via FTP are not changed. Torrent-files uploaded via File Manager can be re-named in case of changes. This video will help to work with File Manager: |
Hello.
I seem to be having this issue of every time I upload a file to my sub-domain, it adds a number corresponding to what would seem to be the ID of the file and an underscore to the beginning of the file name. This is quite a hindrance to some of the people who download them. Is there some way I can disable it? |
Gromov, sorry for the late reply.

(I would've used BB codes, but they were blocked.) |
DestructoForce, if you don't want the IDs of the files appended to the file name, you can try uploading your stuff to the File Manager and specify the URL of the file in the "Link of the file on the remote server" field of the File Catalog module.

So pretty much what's being said here is that I have to upload the file to another website and link it as opposed to directly upload it to my site? |
