Hi, I have a big trouble… ☹ I have two hosts. One is private, another is public. Administrators will upload images in private host, but the images will not be place in the public host. I use FileColumn to be my uploading plugin. Any advices? Thanks 🙂 ---

is there a reason you’re using FileColumn, specifically? i highly recommend thoughtbot’s Paperclip: > **[thoughtbot case studies featuring design and development projects for...](https://thoughtbot.com/case-studies)** > > Check out some thoughtbot case studies featuring design and development projects for websites, mobile and web applications across HealthTech, EdTech, FinTech B2B and B2C. it’s simple, handles permissions/deletions/mime-types. you can also find some great tutorials online to get started. (i’m assuming you’re looking for help w/ the uploading part, and not the differences in servers) hth ---

gluis,Thanks a lot! But I have no time to use paperclip ☹ That’s okay, I use rsync to do this already. Thanks again!

Sync? No, I just want my files to be stored on a separate ftp account - my VPS has only 10 gig … And when people are uploading loads of images or so, it won’t fit there. So I want to use one of those free unlimited storage hostings and upload data there … And keep only code on my VPS … * * * Vojto R. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid 0910670899
