adding media by hand on the command line…

  • hi,

    i want to add a page to my wp site where i can post .pdf’s and other media for visitors to download. however because of the architecture of my server i am required to update plugins and themes by hand on the command line.

    it appears that this is the case with media i wish to add as well. i would like to add a .pdf to a page but cannot use the gui “add media” options.

    i have created /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06 and moved the .pdf into it. i have created the page and saved it as a draft. how can i give visitors a link to download this file on the sites download page by hand?

    what is the best way to give them a link to that file? can i just give them the absolute path? i don’t think that will work because they are in the wordpress directory through a sym link from /www to /usr/share/wordpress/ which confuses things.

    what should the permissions on /uploads/, /2010/ and /06 be?

    please advise,

    oznola

    one just gives the path relative to the url. and sets the permissions to the same as the other sibling directories.
