The EncryptedUploads extension allows to encrypt uploaded files with a password. The password is visible to the uploader and can be shared with other users from selected groups.
Use of this extension together with UploadWizard requires a patch to the UploadWizard extension. It will work fine for regular uploads with no patch.
This extension was created for WikiWorks.
Warning! Encrypted files will be detected by checkImages.php maintenance script as corrupted ones, that's ok since it's just how the encryption works |
