Modules of the Week


FileField Source -
https://www.drupal.org/project/filefield_sources


FileField Sources is an extension to the FileField module. The
FileField module lets you upload files from your computer through
a CCK field. The FileField Sources module expands on this ability
by allowing you to select new or existing files through
additional means, including:


Re-use files by an auto-complete textfield

Attach server-side files uploaded via FTP

Transfer files from a remote server (cURL required)

Paste a file directly from the clipboard (Drupal 7 only)

Select existing files through the IMCE file browser

Although FileField Sources provides several built-in sources,
it can be extended by any module through an API for creating new
sources. Users can toggle between any of the available methods
for selecting a file.
