Magento 2.1 File Upload – Attention: The File Was Not Uploaded

downloadablefile uploadmagento-2.1

I am trying to create a downloadable product in Magento 2.1.7 but when I try to upload the downloadable file, I am getting this error:

Attention The file was not uploaded.

I tried changing the version but get the same result. Even when I try the direct URL to download the file, it shows error.

This error can be caused by server permissions / configurations. It could simply be a permission issue so please ensure your web server user has full rights as per it's recommended in devdocs http://bit.ly/2v325mQ.

If that doesn't resolve the issue then you may want to look at the file size and see it's not larger than the allowed file size on your server.

Magento – Magento – get uploaded file name in form upload field

You have to add else statment if the user is not uploading for the edit. $postdata['file_path']['value'] this is created by Magento automatically.

if(isset($_FILES['file_path']['name']) && (file_exists($_FILES['file_path']['tmp_name']))) {
    // something ....
} else {
    $postdata['file_path'] = $postdata['file_path']['value'];
}
