    Hi

    I made a website for my school. It is based on wordpress, so now I need a plugin, that will solve my problem.

    I need a plugin, that will enable users to upload files to server. Like notes in PDFs. What would you suggest to me?

    Thank you all!

    You can use this plug in to allow approved users to upload links and files to a post (even if it's just a description of the file):
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tdo-mini-forms/.

    However, I would be weary of allowing unregistered, and unapproved users upload files to your blog without screening them first. It will make your blog a huge security risk, and could possibly open you up to litigation when people find out that they can upload any file without scrutiny.

    I personally would not let anyone upload anything onto my servers, better to let them link to it..hosted somewhere else. Honestly, there aren't a lot of plug ins for this because no one in their right mind would allow this. Approved authors and contributors maybe, but not just anyone.
