[Typo3-dev] Uploading file in backend, and save path

[Roel Spruit]

Hi folks,

I am a relatively new to Typo3 extension development, so excuse my
dumb questions :)

I'm developping an extension to make a simple list of uploaded  
scripts on
a server. I've made an extension using the super-duper kickstarter  
extension
to save some information about the uploaded script (version etc.).  
However,
now I want to save the path of the script on the server so I can make  
a download
link in the frontend.

So, my question: is it possible to make a field in the backend to  
save a path to a file
on the server? I've tried the "file" fieldtype but that seems to save  
some kind of blob
in the database.

Thanks in advance.

Roel
