This keeps your main server light and your storage free, while your media stays available under your own domain. You stay in full control: it connects only to the host **you** configure, with the credentials you provide. Nothing is sent anywhere else. #### What it does * Transfers new uploads to your remote host automatically. * Rewrites attachment, content, and `srcset` URLs to the remote host on the front end. * Lets you choose which file types to offload: images, audio, video, documents and archives. * Optionally keeps a local copy, or removes local files after a successful transfer. * One-click database sync to switch existing media URLs to (or back from) the download host. * Removes files from the remote host when you delete them in WordPress. * Built-in FTP diagnostics that test your connection and generate a ready-to-send support ticket for your host if something fails. The plugin is fully functional: FTP and FTPS offloading, URL rewriting, database sync and diagnostics are all included, with no accounts, license keys or external services. ## Screenshots [⌊The Connection tab with live connection status.⌉⌊The Connection tab with live connection status.⌉[ The Connection tab with live connection status.

Upload the `downloadyar-remote-media` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from your WordPress dashboard under **Plugins Add New**. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **Host Connector** in the admin menu. 4. On the **Connection** tab, enter your remote host details (server, username, password, port, download host URL and path). 5. Use the **Diagnostics** tab to confirm the connection works. 6. On the **Files** tab, choose which file types to offload. 7. Upload media as usual — new files transfer to your remote host automatically. ## FAQ ### What is a “download host”? Any server you control that can serve files over HTTP and accepts FTP/FTPS uploads— a second hosting account, a storage VPS, or a dedicated file server. The plugin uploads your media there and points your site’s URLs at it. ### Does the plugin send my data to a third party? No. The free version connects only to the remote host you configure, using the credentials you enter. It makes no other outbound requests. ### Will it work with my existing media library? New uploads are offloaded automatically. To move URLs for media that is already in your library, transfer the existing files to your host, then run **Database Sync to download host**. Always back up your database first. ### My uploads connect but fail to transfer. What’s wrong? This is almost always a firewall blocking passive FTP data ports on your host. Run the **Diagnostics** tool — it identifies the issue and produces a support ticket you can send to your hosting provider. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Downloadyar Remote Media” is open source software.
