Saving images to another sever

Reply Quote

We need to save the uploaded images to another server, our application server, as opposed to our web server.

I’ve seen several questions posted regarding using a physical path to specify the Image gallery path. The answer to these posts is, “When use the physical path to specify the Image gallery path, the physical path must be part of the current web site. “ (http://cutesoft.net/forums/12495/ShowPost.aspx)

Is there a work around to this? Can I customize some server script to point to an upload folder on another server?

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks Adam, but I work in a fairly large IT department, and your solution would involve getting at least two other groups involved.

What I am thinking is finding the code that reads from (and writes to) the folder specified in the cuteEditor.Setting["security:FilesGalleryPath"] property and modifying that to point to a folder on our application server instead.

Do I have access to this code? If so, where is it?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Can you just create a virtual directory in your IIS and point it to the location you want? Then set your image gallery path using

app-based path or absolute path ?

2: Programmatically specify the Image gallery path

C# Example:

//use the app-based path 

Editor1.Setting["security:ImageGalleryPath"]= "~/uploads";

//use the absolute path 
Editor1.Setting["security:ImageGalleryPath"]= "/uploads";

//use the physical path 
Editor1.Setting["security:ImageGalleryPath"]= @"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\uploads";

If not, can you tell me the reason?
