attachments to different server?

[stompbox]

Is it possible using 1.x to allow attachments but to a different server (i.e. domain)?
I know "Attachments directory:" takes a path, but has anyone done a mod to make it reference another server?

Thanks,

The files themselves need to be saved on the disk, by the running PHP code, and this save has to be done on local disks, or, well, network drives, provided that a drive mapping/link exists.

Can you please tell, eventually, why would it really be useful to you to have the forum on a server and attachments on another, and are these servers distant, or in the same network?
Moving this topic to Server configuration.

Obviously it is somewhat esoteric, but I have two servers I use. One is rather expensive and has a somewhat small allocation of space. The other has tons of space. I run the SMF forum on the "better" server and was wondering if I could store attachments to the other server that has more space.

Thank you for the reply,

Aron

The only viable solution is to mount the "storage" server via NFS or similar. Trying to manage non-local protocols is kinda complex.
