is it possible to host media files on a third party server but also still integrate with the existing media folder functionality in the umbraco admin? ie: via ftp, or other upload mechanism... or would I need to extend umbraco and write such a module/package? many thanks in advance...

It is possible. You would need to redo the upload editor control to push the item to the other server, and store the path in the correct manner.

Casey - would going this route involve modifying the core umbraco application and make it incompatible for future updates?

Hello I am still after a smilar control for umbraco. I originally posted something to the forum and got no response. I was just thinking of the control being more configurable. IE setting the FTP server, username, password and the domain to that folder. http://forum.umbraco.org/misc/custom-datatype-upload-control---remote-ftpWarren

Warren - that's more or less what I'm looking for as well. it would also be nice if you could configure multiple sources as well.

>Does this affect the core... In a round-a-bout way, yes. Let me explain. Currently, the media picker is tied to the included upload control, so just changing the datatype doesn't work. To successfully replace it, you have to clone the existing one's Guid. With that being said, I have created an upload replacement that successfully replaced the built-in version completely, and it is in a separate assembly. Thus, it does not modify the core, and would be compatible for the foreseeable future. I am not sure how 'safe' this is, as both controls are attempted to be loaded, just the second one seems to fail. In regard to having to hack the GUID to get it to work with the media picker, I have submitted that as an issue for future versions. I will post an FTP library later that seems pretty good, and was easy for me to implement in another project a while back. Case

Has anybody worked further with this topic ? I'm very interested in how to solve this, without modifying the core... /Martin
