You can't do it via FTP, since the database needs to be updated to contain certain pieces of information about the file. However, there is a Perl script which allows for mass-uploading of files, and since it's oft-requested, I might write a mass-upload maintenance script of some description.

I don't know if the file exist on the server or not since I can not log on the server at this point. Also, Is there a way for me to FTP these? I have alot of mp3 files and I can not afford to upload 1 by 1.
I will try to change the setting when I get home.
Thank you very much for your help.

- A straight FTP won't work, so don't bother.
- On the same warning screen, you should have had a button appear
which would allow you to continue with the upload.
a. If you did, did you click it? ;-) b. If not, you need to set $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; in LocalSettings.php
It sounds like the upload wasn't completed after all. Does the file exist somewhere inside the uploads directory?

Have you tried keeping everything the same but replacing the "Media:" with "Image:"? This should link to the file's description page, and will tell you whether you have in fact typed the filename right. There should also be a "recent uploads" list somewhere - Special:Log, maybe?
- that will have the file's name as te software thinks it is.
Otherwise, something very odd is happening. I wondered briefly if it was possible to end up with a file uploaded with no description page (so that link code might think "page doesn't exist, therefore file doesn't"), but I wasn't able to create such a situation.
