Hi,

In AdminCP>Attachments>Attachment Storage Type, there is an option to Move Items to a Different Directory. I'm exploring the idea of moving attachments off my vBulletin host's server (to save space) onto a cheaper shared hosting server.

I was advised by support on vbulletin.com that there is no way to enter a path that is to a different host. You may only enter a path that is relative to the server root. If I want to host attachments on a different server, I would need to modify the code to do this.

Does anyone here know how to do this or can give me instruction?

I'm hoping there is a relatively simple way to go about this that won't break the existing links of all attachments on my forum forcing users to re-upload everything. Would there be any other problems that would arise from doing this?

Regards,

Marc
