 * I plan to host all my content on a remote server i.e. img.mywebsite.com
 * Is there a way to configure WordPress so it uploads to this remote server?

 * Hi,
 * It is possible to upload the contents on remote server. You need to provide full
   path to the remote account in wordpress admin area => Miscellaneous Settings -
   > Full URL path to files.
 * Make sure that you have set all require permissions on remote account.
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.

 * I thought it only accepted absolute paths?
 * But you’re saying I would but [http://remoteserver.com/path/to/directory/](http://remoteserver.com/path/to/directory/)?

 * Would think you would have to have open access on the remote server which would
   be extremely dangerous. Other than that I think you would need to try it yourself
   and see. I and maybe most people on here would never do that for security purposes
   which is why you probably have not received a reply.
