Uploading files, not to courses

Uploading files, not to courses

I have setup a file repository in moodledata containing several directories which are relevent to different types of courses. I want tutors to be able to select these for their courses. How can I upload files via a moodle file manager (not FTP like the docs say) ?

I have looked into DavRoot but I cant get it to (says reverse proxy error, I am working locally at the moment).

Any other solutions?

If you are working locally on the Moodle Server, you should just be able to copy to the repository, if you can find it. Otherwise, AFAIK, the only way to reach it is FTP. I know.. a pain, but there were a number of security concerns extensively discussed when Repositories were initially introduced. Of course, you could use an external repository, Dropbox, for example, but that too can cause other problems....

That is why I really prefer to be working locally on a Moodle server, makes so many things so much easier.

Whether you can upload files to a https://docs.moodle.org/en/File_system_repository through Moodle, No, not to my knowledge.

But unlike the original repostories https://docs.moodle.org/en/Private_files, https://docs.moodle.org/en/Server_files_repository, etc. a File system repository is just a directory in the file system of the server. There are dozens of ways of uploading files to a server other than HTTP: FTP, SFTP, SCP, Samba, WebDav, rsync, ... Talk to your system administrator.
