Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Downloadyar Remote Media

Any server you control that can serve files over HTTP and accepts FTP/FTPS uploads — a second hosting account, a storage VPS, or a dedicated file server. The plugin uploads your media there and points your site's URLs at it.

No. The free version connects only to the remote host you configure, using the credentials you enter. It makes no other outbound requests.

Yes. Open the Migrate tab and click Start migration to transfer everything already in your library to the download host, in small resumable batches. Then run Database → Sync to download host to switch existing post content over to the new URLs. If you use a page builder, gallery plugin or store image URLs in widgets, tick Thorough sync first so custom fields and options are rewritten too. Always back up your database first.

Often the FTP login works but the data connection or write path does not. Check that FTP path is relative to the FTP account home after login (not a URL). On DirectAdmin it is often like domains/dl.example.com/public_html/uploads. Also confirm the download-host account has free disk quota — a full disk blocks folder create and uploads. Run Diagnostics (and Deep transfer probe) for details and a support ticket if needed.

Only the files of a Media Library item you delete: its main file, generated image sizes, the original kept by big-image scaling, and image-editor backups. Each one is looked up at the same location inside your FTP path where uploads are stored, and only deleted if it exists there. Files of other plugins, themes or WordPress itself are never touched. Every remote deletion is recorded on the Logs tab. A failed deletion shows an admin notice with the exact remote path and attachment ID.
