PaperclipFTP¶ ↑

Ftp storage support for paperclip file attachment plugin. Useful for CDNs with ftp access method for file uploading.

gem install paperclipftp

In your model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :avatar,
                    :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" },
                    :path => "/path-to-images/:attachment/:id/:style/:filename",
                    :url => "http://my-cdn-domain.com/:attachment/:id/:style/:filename",
                    :storage => :ftp,
                    :ftp_credentials => Rails.root.join('config', 'paperclipftp.yaml')
end

or

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :avatar,
                    :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" },
                    :path => "/path-to-images/:attachment/:id/:style/:filename",
                    :url => "http://my-cdn-domain.com/:attachment/:id/:style/:filename",
                    :storage => :ftp,
                    :ftp_credentials => { :host => 'ftp.domain.com', :username => 'username', :password => 'password' },
                    :ftp_passive_mode => false,
                    :ftp_timeout => 90,
                    :ftp_verify_size_on_upload => false,
                    :ftp_debug_mode => false
end

Options storage, ftp_credentials, path and url are mandatory.

• storage: Should be set to ‘ftp’ value in order to utilize paperclipftp plugin

• ftp_credentials: Takes a path, a File, or a Hash. The path (or File) must point to a YAML file containing the host, username, and password to ftp server. You can ‘environment-space’ this just like you do to your database.yml file, so different environments can use different accounts:

  development:
    host: domain.com
    username: user
    password: password
  test:
    ...
  production:
    ...

  This is not required, however, and the file may simply look like this:

  host: domain.com
  username: user
  password: password

  In which case, those values will be used in all environments.

• path: This is the templated path to the directory on the ftp server in which the file will be stored.

• url: This is the templated url to the files as accessed from CDN.

Other options are optional.

• ftp_passive_mode: True if ftp communication should happen in passive mode

• ftp_timeout: Max amount of time in seconds to allocate to ftp operations of the plugin

• ftp_debug_mode: If true, dumps copy of all ftp commands to stderr

• ftp_verify_size_on_upload: If true, file size will be verified after each upload
