How to relatively link to a file

0

My max file upload size is 64MB on my host and I'd like to upload a larger file. I see it as I have to upload the file via FTP and then link to it. But it's important to be to use a relative link rather than permanent/direct link. I'd like to put it in /uploads/myfile.zip but it ends up being a new wiki page rather than a file when I link to it from a wiki page.

Any suggestions on how I can get around that?

can't you just create a split archive and then extract on the host once all parts uploaded? eg '7z -v64m' – James – 2013-06-02T08:22:13.003

Or use some 3rd party file deposit area (DropBox share link, or something like yousendit? – Darius – 2013-06-02T14:31:17.753

There are two extensions which should help you.

There is the Extension:MultiUpload. If you upload files directly to the server using FTP or SCP or whatever, you have to import them into MediaWiki to make them work wiki-style, by using the maintenance/importImages.php file but it requires shell access.

There is also the Extension:UploadLocal which is good.
