I would like to upload my files in a different directory that html_plublic or tmp. I want to upload in a sub-directory html_plublic/materials. I am using PHP to upload but don´t let my upload files in a subdirectory, only in the html_plublic.
Can you help me?
Please.

Why don't you login to your CPanel and upload them from there? Go to your account panel and click Login to CPanel then when you log in find File Manager and use that.

Ok, this is a god idea, but I want upload the files ONLY by web. My idea is that another person uploads this files without use the cpanel. This person doesn´t know programming lenguages. I programming this page for him.

I'm not sure how you're uploading files to "public_html" with PHP, as uploaded files are stored in the directory specified by upload_tmp_dir or, failing that, the TMPDIR environment variable (which should be "/tmp"). From there, you can move it wherever you wish using move_uploaded_file. If you need any more than that, you need to show us a minimal code example.
Make sure you're not violating the X10 ToS. Free accounts aren't to be used for file hosting, nor are you to give others unfettered access. Restricting the upload directory means you're all right on the latter count, but I can't speak as to the former.
Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.Misson, not Mission.

Hi markosar200294,
The secret is to move the uploaded file to your destination folder before the end of the script. PHP deletes the temporary upload after execution, so you just have to move it if you want to keep it. Doing it this way, allows you some control over what’s being uploaded.I would like to upload my files in a different directory that html_plublic or tmp.
Allowing users to upload files this way is easy but it opens very big security risk. Make sure only authorized users have access to it, and restrict as much as you can what is to be uploaded. Remember that you are the one responsible for what’s in your site.
For this example you will need to create 2 folders in your /public_html/
In the file_upload place this form.html code:
- file_upload
- materials
In the same folder create upload_file.php:HTML Code:<html> <body> <form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <label for="file">Filename:</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html>
PHP Code:<?php
//Set the path relative to script location
$destination_path = "../materials/";
//Some restrictions to the file upload
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
if (file_exists($destination_path . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
$destination_path . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . $destination_path . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>
Go to your browser and open http://www.batepapoworkshops.x10.mx/...load/form.html and upload a small gif image. It will end up on http://www.batepapoworkshops.x10.mx/materials/
Tested this on my free hosting (server: chopin) and it works with no problems.
