Downloadyar Remote Media moves your uploaded media (images, audio, video and documents) from your WordPress server to a separate download host over FTP or FTPS, then rewrites every media URL on your site so visitors load files straight from that host. This keeps your main server light and your storage free, while your media stays available under your own domain.
You stay in full control: it connects only to the host you configure, with the credentials you provide. Nothing is sent anywhere else.
What it does
- Transfers new uploads to your remote host automatically.
- Rewrites attachment, content, and
srcsetURLs to the remote host on the front end. - Lets you choose which file types to offload: images, audio, video, documents and archives.
- Optionally keeps a local copy, or removes local files after a successful transfer.
- One-click database sync to switch existing media URLs to (or back from) the download host.
- Removes files from the remote host when you delete them in WordPress.
- Built-in FTP diagnostics that test your connection and generate a ready-to-send support ticket for your host if something fails.
The plugin is fully functional: FTP and FTPS offloading, URL rewriting, database sync and diagnostics are all included, with no accounts, license keys or external services.
