[pmwiki-users] Inserting files from the local file system

[Steven Benmosh]

Two questions/problems I am running into:

1. I have pmwiki set up in my web server root. I have a directory called
"images", with image files in it, including one called "SantaBarbara.jpg".

I would like to attach the image to a wiki page. I can do it by linking to
the actual url of the file, in the form
http://my.web.site/images/SantaBarbara.jpg. I am wondering if there is a
simpler way to connect to a local file, maybe with a relative link, without
having to type the whole url and create a static link (that would not change
if I move the wiki to another site)?

2. For some reason the Attach markup does not work for me - maybe because I
did not allow attachment by authors, which is intentional. I tried the
following, and each gives me a text result, not the image file:

Attach:"/images/SantaBarbara.jpg"
Attach:"images/SantaBarbara.jpg"
"Attach:images/SantaBarbara.jpg"
"Attach:/images/SantaBarbara.jpg"

Is there a way to allow attachments without allowing uploads? I want access
to the uploads to be through ftp or scp, not via pmwiki.

Thanks for your help.
