sup folks,

the forum I am using is IBF 2.0.3. my team upload a lot of demos and such to the forum after each and every map. This upload folder is taking up a lot of space on the web server. This website is on a shared web server and I do not have shell access to it. However, I would like to offload it to another server that has more disk space and I have shell access.

How would I go about doing that?

General Configuration
-Other URLs and Paths
--Upload URL
--| The URL to your "uploads" folder.
--Path to 'upload' directory
--| This is a path, not a URL.

Is that what you mean?

I think he meant another server entirely and not a different directory.

I don't think it's possible but someone with a little more knowledge of Invision's inner workings can prove me wrong if it is possible. smile.gif

It is possible, because Neowin is doing it.

Yes that's what I mean. Path to 'upload' directory. I would like to mount it on another server. How would I go about doing that?

Are the 2 servers connected by a local network?

I need to do this. And they would not be connected by a local network.
