 * Hi i wish the change the location of where wordpress uploads. So my site was 
   on example.com if I was uploading an image using the upload form, it would be
   on example2.com.
 * So somewhere in the code i would put the connection details for the other site
   ftp.
 * How can I do this?

 * I don’t think you can upload via WordPress to another domain, you can change 
   the directory via the dashboard under Options Misc.

 * Many bloggers store their images in/on Flickr – and link there. Search, read,
   try.

 * Yeah, I know but I am uploading files, content, etc. I have another server with
   much higher bandwidth that I want to hold the downloadable content on. It will
   take me ages to write in the URL for every image + file!
    If I use the current
   upload server I will end up paying lots.
 * Any ideas?

 * Move your blog to the server with higher bandwidth. As it was said above: we 
   don’t know of any way to do what you’d like.

 * I don’t suggest or condone editing core files, but if you are comfortable with
   PHP and editing those files, it’s handled in functions-post.php, starts at line
   883.
 * You’ve been warned 😉
