I should probably add that using the IP addresses directly instead of the DNS name does not help either.
@michaelh: thanks! I’m trying wp-filebase, and I consider this solved.
However, just out of curiosity, do you know why WP doesn’t have a built-in generic mechanism to upload arbitrary files, and only manages “media-like” files by default?
Thanks.
@claytonjames: ok thanks, Any suggestion on where to create that directory, eg still under wp-content or elsewhere? Will that survive WP upgrades?
@dswordpress: any plugin you recommend that can do that?
Thank you!
