Is it possible to change the location of the attachments location
example my website is: http://www.mywebsite.com and i post a attachment then it will be saved in the FTP of http://www.anyothersite.com


How?

It's possible if they're on the same server and SMF has access to the directory :)

You can update the path from the Attachments and Avatars Manager section of the Admin CP, insert the path to the directory you want to use for attachments :)

Srry but i can't find that?
Can you explain me better?

N3RVE

My previous post has content linked to a section of the Admin CP, have you had a look at that?

If you browse though the Admin Control Panel, you'd find where to adjust the attachment path :)

I can only find in attachment settings: /users/gijsmin/www/attachments
But then i can't change from FTP database
so how?

N3RVE

What's FTP database?
After changing the path (/users/gijsmin/www/attachments) to what you want, it should work fine. I presume the other folder is also under the same account, ask your host for the path if you can't get it :)

N3RVE

I don't think that's possible.
