Hi guys,
Where are the attachments stored (when using the File Uploader)? On the server of SimplePress or on our own FTP server?
And if it is stored on our FTP server, what would you recommend about the max size per attachment for the site to remain fast?
Best regards

all attachments (file uploads) are stored on your server. you set the storage location on forum - integration - storage locations...
as to max size, it really depends on what you are doing. you may have different requirements if you are a photography forum vs a news forum...
typically, I think for images, generally 100k is enough for images.

Thank you! I have changed the max size for images to 100k and the max size for media files to 8MB.

Can I store attachments on Amazon S3? I would prefer to store them there but I'm not sure if Simple Press has this capabilty. thanks, Steve

If it is possible for your users to download images when they make an http request to the forum pages then you can store your images wherever you prefer. No - SP will not upload them but you can do that beforehand and link to them in the normal way.

Steve20,
If you have root on your server, and want to store things elsewhere but access them locally (and do so securely), you can use sshfs.

I do this now on a VM that I have running Bricolage CMS which mounts the DocumentRoot of the content server out on the cloud... works flawlessly... Only thing I did was also run a cronjob to do a mount -a periodically in the event that, for some network glitch, the mount point disconnected...
