Upload one or more files to a single computer

Hello,

we are using OCS, and it's really good. We love it.

SPECS:

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, PHP 7.4.3, running through Apache2

OCS v2.9.2

What we need is the possibility to upload some PDF/Doc to each computer (i.e. computer warranty, invoice... and something like this.)

If this possibility is already included, how can I enable this feature?
in Administrative console by (250 points)

Look at Deployement https://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org/05.Deployment/Deploying-packages-or-executing-commands-on-client-hosts/

You can use it for deploy softwares, execute command, send (store) files, ...

(And you have information on deployement : for which PC it's ok, for wihich PC it's waiting, ...)

@jacquesh by using this way (Deployment), can I send the files to the computer, or I'll simply store the files on my server? (I need the second one, I need to store on server the documentation related to the computer)

Probably the better way is to add the possibility to add a file upload "field type" on the administrative data.

I don't understand exactly what you want :

- with deployement, you can send easily one or many files to any computer

- with Administrative Data, you can add some informations on each materials : location, purchase date, end of warranty date, ...

Your screen is Administrative Data : in OCS, you don't have a way to store files : invoice, delivery note, ...

Many company use GLPI connected to OCS for doing this : GLPI is able to get inventory from OCS and store files for each computers

Thank you for your answer.

Yes I want to add files through Administrative data. I think that I'm going to avoid this problem adding for each computer a section called "Files" and add some text input for each useful information. For example Warranty, Invoice.. and I will fill these inputs with a link to google drive.

Thank you for your precious support!

It's a way : quite hard to maintain ...

Another idea : a webdav http server with a folder by hostname : you put and retrieve any files in material's folder (even with click and move ?), you can add an Administrative Data with the url of this http server : one click from the OCS material sheet directly in http ...
