Uploading files outside of Drupal

Joined: 02/23/2008

I have some folders of static html photo albums that I want to upload to the same server where our Drupal install is. I tried uploading them to: example.com/sites/default/files/, but it seems that only that which is uploaded through Drupal can be accessed. (I get a "Page not found" error when I try to go to them by putting in their direct URL.)

Thus, does anybody know how I can upload (FTP) files to the server without going through Drupal and have them be accessible to the public?

Try a different directory

I think Drupal is going to check for any attempted access to the site's files directory. I'd place create a directory in site's root, e.g., example.com/oldhtmlstuff.

Good luck,
