[Imc-aotearoa-tech] Changing images uploaded with files

[finn c.]

Hi,

Yep thats the easiest way to do it. You can upload new files into
/www/uploads/aotearoa/metafiles/ - local/webcast/uploads/metafiles is
just a symlink to that directory.

The tricky thing is that anyone can write to the uploads directory, but
we cannot remove stuff that has been uploaded via active. This is
because the files are owned by www-data, the user that the web server
uses.

Seeya,
finn
