Alternatively, is there a way I can make an external reference to a file
URL on the same web server where my wiki resides?
eg, if my wiki is at
http://example.com/wiki/
and my big file is at:
http://example.com/files/big_file.iso
...then how might a make a reference akin to:
<a href="/files/big_file.iso">big_file.iso</a>
in my wiki content such that if/when I port my server to a new
domain/base-url reference that the references will still work?

Hello,
I have large (eg, greater then 10MB, sometimes hundreds of MB) files that
I wish to put under MediaWiki's "control" in the /images directory and
have them accessible via [[Media:]] and [[Image:]] links.
However, rather then using the /wiki/Special:Upload mechanism, I'd much
rather upload using better upload mechanisms then just my web browser
(like sftp) because these other mechanisms have much better file-control
(eg, pause and resume), upload-status, and time-remaining-display
capabilities. The pure-web-upload stuff has little if any display/control
for these things, and it's almost impossible to tell if the upload is
working.
To this end, I'd like to be able to sftp upload to a local directory on
my
web server (which I can do), and then point
MediaWiki at a "local" file
on
my (web) server and quickly import the file into
"MediaWiki" control that
way.
Is this possible? How can I do this from a MediaWiki web page, or must I
go through some cmdline (on the server) interface (which is fine for
now)?
Thanks for any help,
-Matt
