 * I’m using a .nl and .com domain. The .nl is the wordpress directory. I want to
   use the wordpress upload function to upload files into my other other domain,
   and I know this is normally possible by using the absolute path. BUT, the .com
   domain is hosted at a different provider. Does anyone carry ideas for a plugin
   solution?

 * You can’t do that, at all. If you upload, then you’re uploading to that host.
   If it’s on a different machine entirely, then you can’t upload to one machine
   and expect it to go to another.

 * For sure you can upload to domain1, and ftp the file with a php script to domain2.
   That means you need to upload to machine1 first, before the script can move the
   file into machine2. [This](http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum88/9248.htm) is
   the only comparable information I could find online.
 * The plugin should upload like normally, than move the new file to machine2 with
   ftp_connect,_login,_alloc,_mk_dir and _nb_put, than change the wordpress domain
   name to domain2.
 * I think I can write this plugin by my own, but maybe there are better ideas or
   there already might be a good solution.
 * Maybe this topics could be better placed into the plugin forum section?
