Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.
If your talking about very very very fast file transfer then here is the destiny.
Why xsend module is made for?
xsend is a simple module to help you to speed up your private file transfers. Normally Drupal private file transfer is quite troublesome and not secure if the files folder is located at public_html. This module will also help protect your files from unauthorized access.
Why you need this?
If you're still using Drupal public file transfer you're not secure at all. Every one can get your files.
If you're using Drupal private file transfer, you're secure. But file transfer to the client is very slow.
Fast secure file transfer can only be achieved from the xsend.
How to migrate to xsend?
If you're using a standard Drupal installation then follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
If you're currently using private file transfer correctly, then you can still use this INSTALL guide, but make sure keep empty, the path to Drupal installation directory settings.
What is mod_xsendfile
mod_xsendfile is a small Apache2 module that processes X-SENDFILE headers registered by the original output handler.
Notice: Twitpic recently changed their API, breaking the module. I have not yet had time to fix it, but patches from anyone are welcome.
This module allows Twitpic images to be displayed directly on a Drupal site, allowing Twitter and Twitpic to be used as a mobile engine for a photo-rich blog.
Twitpic allows images to be posted to Twitter, appearing as URLs in a Twitter feed. Pulling Twitter feeds into Drupal is a great way to get easy mobile micro-blogging, and some mobile Twitter apps include photo upload capability.
The problem is that the feed only shows URLs, not the images. The Twitpic API allows thumbnails to be displayed in a browser, but makes the full images available only as downloadable files. This module uses an Input Filter to intercept Twitpic URLs, download their originals to the Drupal filesystem, and display the images instead of the URLs to the end user.
Take Control is a set of set of modules for Drupal for managing various administrative tasks particularly related to the file system. Beginning with version 2.0, the module has been refactored into a core/add-on architecture, where a core module take_control provides common routines and settings, whereas the bulk of front-end user interaction comes from add-on modules (e.g. file browser etc).
Currently, there are 2 add-on modules: file-browser, and quick-permissions.
Auto Admin is a module that automatically generates good looking, highly customizable administration pages.
Let Auto Admin build list, add, edit and delete pages for you using its Drush commands to generate configuration data. Then customize the text and form settings to your liking. One-to-many and many-to-one relationships are supported too!
Auto Admin is good at managing data for custom modules whose data structure does not fit as node types. It lets you get of the ground and writing "the fun stuff" really, really quick.
If you have questions, feedback or needs it to do something that it does not do already, please open an issue. Please check out the docs first though :)
