KFile, a simple download-link generator for WordPress

Posted on March 10, 2008 by Andreas Goelzer

After finally finding a nice CMS to use for my homepage, I was searching for a simple plugin that lets me

  • upload files manually using scp or other means from the command line
  • display a nice link to the file, stating name, size etc. after adding a text like [file=foo.tar.bz2]

All I found were quite large plugins using databases, using quite elaborate administration front ends. So I started writing one myself.

Usage

  • Install and activate the plugin.
  • Create a directory wordpressurl/download (alternatively, change the constant in kfile.php)
  • Upload files there
