File manager with upload and graphical directory
I tried several file managers before I found this one which I think is the best. I wanted support for Drupal 5 and 6, uploads and the ability to browse files in a folder structure.
The documentation is complete and the product works fine so far in my testing. I could not get some of the other products to work, mostly because of a real lack of documentation.
This includes a navigation link to browse the default file system and and block to show files. You can turn on (by content type) the ability to browse while editing content. One thing that is a little inconvenient is to upload you have to expand the both the browse link and the upload link when editing content.
My goal to get my local file attached to a story. My steps that led to success:
- download webfm to modules directory
- enable module
- set user permisions
- set webfm settings
- edit content type and enable webfm
- create a story
- click WebFM Attachments
- click File Browser
- click File Upload
- browse to a file
- click upload
- right click on file just uploaded and select "Attach to node"
It took me a while to figure out #12.
Suggested improvements eliminate steps #8 and #9 do them for me when I click #7.
I wish I could drag a local file to a control to have it uploaded.
I am using it at http://web3us.com/drupal6/

Should be a core module
Being able to upload files aside from attaching them is a core functionality which you need when you want your users to add content that is not just an HTML page.
This module is simply put great! It should be a core module and I'm very very happy.
The only tricky part was to increase the upload file limit. But that's actually not the problem of this module. It's in the php.ini. Don't forget to not only increase the maximum upload file size, but also the maximum post file size.
