May 29, 201313 yr Hi. I have been always wanted a plugin that will allow me to download files from the internet directly to my server. like the idea of transmission plugin. all what you have to do is insert the file URL in the plugin page and the plugin will take care of downloading it directly to the server without the need of having your pc to be turned on. thank you.

You really don't need a plugin Log in via telnet type wget -O /mnt/disk1/wherever_you_want_the_file/file_name //path/to/external/download/url
May 29, 201313 yr Author Thank you and you are right. but it will be much easer if there was a plugin to serve the purpose instead of going to telnet and writing command line.

Agreed, but you still need to know the external URL and where you want to write it to, so about all you save from typing is "wget -O" In any case, it is a trivial plugin to write. Why not give it a try. Joe L.
May 29, 201313 yr I like the idea. Shouldn't be all that hard If CURL is compiled into PHP all the basics are there. Some kind of field for the output directory. (Which is cached from the last invocation). Some kind of field for the input URL. a button do to an ls -l on the output directory.

(Which is cached from the last invocation). Some kind of field for the input URL. a button do to an ls -l on the output directory. And some logic to ensure important files (or existing files) are not overwritten. Or at least warn users. Otherwise, you've just allowed anyone to overwrite anything (add viruses, overwrite passwords, system utilities, etc)

If I were to do something like this it would have a dedicated configurable directory just for uploads/downloads.
