• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Upload files to another server folder

Hello.
I know this might be strange but...

I'm develloping a project, which will be used internally only, not published to the web. In this project, I have a main file server (linux server) and the webserver where Joomla and Fabrik are hosted.

I will need to use the fileupload plugin (or other method), in order to display files on Fabrik, but store it on the file server, so other users can access it from standard file shares on Windows machines.

I know I can mount the remote folder on the webserver, and from there use that folder as the Upload Directory on the plugin, BUT...

This is kind of a security issue. IF, for some reason, one day the server is to be published to the internet, this will bring problems, for sure.

Does any of forum can think on an alternative way? Something like open an SSH connection each time the file must be uploaded, and have a read only mount to display the file in Fabrik?
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
