Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to configure filemgmt so that the File listing part of it is on the main server and the file upload part is on a different file server... for example users can come to server "A" and browse throught he filemgmt but when they want to upload it uploads it to a "B" server. Or a user can go to server "A", browse and choose a file from a list and when they download it will download from server "B"

Any ideas how this can be done?

I would really appreciate the help

Both Server A and B are with a seperate hosting provider.

You could use a meta refresh, as explained here.

Dirk,

I can see how that can help with downloading a file from a seperate server...

my biggest delimma is how can i upload the file to a seperate server

I am not trying to get any of you guys to do all the dirty work... if you can just please point me to the right direction I can research it and edit the code possibly myself... I just dont have the brain power to come up with the solution on my own :-P

You could simply upload the files to the other server via ftp or whatever you have available there and then upload the file with the meta refresh in it on the server where the plugin is running.

bye, Dirk

Are they on the same network?
If so then just use a mappped drive (Windows) or symbolic link (Linux) to a shared network directory on the remote machine.

I have not done this but I know it can be done. You may have to muck around a bit to figure it out.
