Re: [cobalt-users] [RAQ4] ProFTP anonymous download location change?

Hi.

You may be able to use the script below to access the files w/o having to
duplicate them.  It will read them from their current directory (once you
specify it in the script).

Shaun.

filelist.html:
----------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>List of Files</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://sub.domain.com/fileget.php?f=file1_name.ext";>Get File 1
Here</a><br />
<a href="http://sub.domain.com/fileget.php?f=file2_name.ext";>Get File 2
Here</a><br />
</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------
fileget.php:
----------------------------------------
<?php

if (!$_GET['f']) {
    echo 'No file parameter given';
    exit;
    }

$fullpath = '/path/to/repository/' . $_GET['f'];

if (file_exists($fullpath) {
    $thefilesize = filesize($fullpath);
    $thefile = fopen($fullpath, 'r');
    $thefiledata = fread($thefile, $thefilesize);
    header('Content-Length: ' . $thefilesize);
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $_GET['f']);
    echo $thefiledata;
    }
else {
    echo 'The file dies not exist!';
    exit;
    }

?>
