How do large boards handle attachments? Right now I have about 7GB of attachments in my file system. I was just curious how others deal with this issue. Especially if you have more than one web server...

How can I store the attachment on the file system instead of the db ?

well, If I want to move attachments to the folder instead of database ..... I have to make a folder change mode 777 and also I have to disable safe mode ...

Aren't these dangerous ? or risky ?

how can we secure folder ch mode 777 ?

can we have this folder on root ? or secure it by using htaccess file?

You can have the attachments folder outside your webroot. It doesn't really have to be chmod 0777. Just make sure the webserver/php user has full access to it.
