I reed all in online book about upload and forms... Can I make my upload manually, something like: brows_file -> upload_to_some_folder. What is happening after I submit button 'upload' - can I have control on this activity.
I'm new with Web2Py and Python, but on PHP this is no problem, I make all my code upload form and files go to folders what I chose, and file name is my will same or changed... In Python I see some functions os.rename for renaming files, but it is directly rename file name. Can I have may custom upload form with two way first: sending file to folder - no need for database second: sending data to database - and don'n need to know is file or something else. On download process I can us something like list folder content and make links for download (from file list and database data I will generate links for download) If you have doubts why so complicated, and why I don't use simply way shown in book -> answer is: the chairman of department what that files stored as early mentioned...
