vb can use any of the methods I mentioned as well. How your servers are connected is a system decision which you need to make first, then code up a solution. The easiest would be some kind of mount, which would be a simple change to the attachment path.
The real question is why do it? attachments are just blob files that occupy disk space, why put them somewhere else?
Thats exactly what i'm asking for is some kind of mount... I know the attachment path can be changed inside the server but how would i be able to change it to another server...
And about your real question why would i need to do it... Well my main server is a semi dedicated server (25gb space) that has the forum on it... But when i asked my host if there was away if i could get more disk space.. The told me NO and i would have to upgrade to a dedicated server which i can't afford at the moment.. They also gave me other advice such as purchasing a second server that costs less then my semi dedicated server which has alot more disk space then the semi.... So thats what i did and thats why i am asking this question... So can you or anyone help me with this.. I would appreciate it..
