• We are an IT Support business and I am trying to figure out the best way to have a TeamViewer “Remote Support” EXE uploaded or available from our ‘in development’ WP site. The file or access to the file needs to be public.

  • I’d suggest that you use FTP to upload the file. The standard security restrictions don’t allow .exe files to be uploaded (for pretty obvious reasons), so using FTP to get the file in the right place is the best way to do it.

    And store where in WP file/folder structure? And how would you provide access on site – I was think just through a link on site in menu and with a link like https://www.domain.com/remote

    Where dpeends on where you want it to go. it could be placed anywhere in the public folder structure. Where it is actually doesn’t matter at all. You’d jsut need to track that so you know the URL of the file.

    as an exmaple, if you have a file named tv.exe and it’s in the oflder of /myfolder/uploads/ (you can make any folder you want to here) it would be a URL of:

    https://www.domain.com/myfolder/uploads/tv.exe

    From there you can use that URL in a new menu item in the ‘Appearnace -> Menus’ page in your admin area.

    That’s really all there is to it.

    If I check my files with my hosting provider via FTP, I do not see a Public folder. It just starts with WP files/folder.

    Then you most likely have FTP’d into the main public root folder of your site, but if you’re not sure you should check with your hosting company to see if there’s anything else that you need to know.

    I think I would prefer to have something like https://www.domain.com/remote or https://remote.domain.com which just launches a file download for User ofe tv.exe file.
    ow w oi do this?

    That would need you to set up a sub-domain and have osme script that directs the users browser to download that file. You’d need to figure that one out for yourself as there’s a lot of different things that could work for that depending on your server, and that’s pretty far outside the scope of this forum though as it’s nothing to do with the way that WordPress works.
