TROUBLESHOOTING

If you are having trouble with this module, check the status page at admin/reports/status. The status page runs all the Flysystem checks and provides useful error reporting.

CONFIGURATION

Stream wrappers are configured in settings.php.

The keys (local-example below) are the names of the stream wrappers.

For example: 'local-example://filename.txt'.

Stream wrapper names cannot contain underscores, they can only contain letters, numbers, + (plus sign), . (period), - (hyphen).

The 'driver' key, is the type of adapter. The available adapters are:

• local
• ftp (Requires the ftp extension)
• dropbox (https://www.drupal.org/project/flysystem_dropbox)
• rackspace (https://www.drupal.org/project/flysystem_rackspace)
• s3v2 (https://www.drupal.org/project/flysystem_s3)
• sftp (https://www.drupal.org/project/flysystem_sftp)
• zip (https://www.drupal.org/project/flysystem_zip)

The 'config' is the configuration passed into the Flysystem adapter.

Example configuration:

$schemes = [
  'local-example' => [           // The name of the stream wrapper.

    'driver' => 'local',         // The plugin key.

    'config' => [
      'root' => '/path/to/dir/outsite/drupal', // This will be treated similarly
                                               // Drupal's private file system.
      // Or.

      'root' => 'sites/default/files/flysystem',
      'public' => TRUE,                          // In order for the public setting to work,
                                                 // the path must be relative to the root
                                                 // of the Drupal install.

    // Optional settings that apply to all adapters.

    'name' => 'Custom stream wrapper name', // Defaults to Flysystem: scheme.
    'description' => 'Custom description',  // Defaults to Flysystem: scheme.

    'cache' => TRUE,             // Cache filesystem metadata. Not necessary for
                                 // the local driver.

    'replicate' => 'ftpexample', // 'replicate' writes to both filesystems, but
                                 // reads from this one. Functions as a backup.

    'serve_js' => TRUE,          // Serve Javascript or CSS via this stream wrapper.
    'serve_css' => TRUE,         // This is useful for adapters that function as
                                 // CDNs like the S3 adapter.
  ],

  'ftpexample' => [
    'driver' => 'ftp',
    'config' => [
      'host' => 'ftp.example.com',
      'username' => 'username',
      'password' => 'password',

      // Optional config settings.
      'port' => 21,
      'root' => '/path/to/root',
      'passive' => true,
      'ssl' => false,
      'timeout' => 90,
      'permPrivate' => 0700,
      'permPublic' => 0700,
      'transferMode' => FTP_BINARY,
    ],
  ],
