Open content directory over FTP

Hi,

Just a general wonderment: I'd love what I've been seeing so far. But the only way I consider a program such as this one, is when I'm able to open a external FTP directory for the images. I've got a host which doesn't allow PHP, but has a lot of space. Then I have another host, offering not so much space but with PHP.

So I'd like to upload images on the one server and host the gallery on the PHP enabled server. I know that the PHP opendir() function supports the FTP wrapper (5+), but I'd like to know whether ImageVuex supports this as well. And if not, perhaps an idea?

Cheers!

Not to speak for Pain and Karl, but I think that's never going to happen. Not only would it be latent as all "heck", it doesn't really make sense for them to rewrite the entire application to do what you're asking. Why don't you just move to another hosting provider???

Imagevue simply can't read files on an external server if it doesn't have PHP.

It was nothing more than a general thought. I read about the support of FTP'ing using the opendir() PHP function. Which made me think about this solution. True: it might be laggy, but I had to ask since I couldn't find out for myself. It would be either too difficult or just setting opendir() to opendir(user:pass@host/dir/content).

Cheers!
