Description
I have a few questions before contributing time to this module.
Is Media Mover 6.x able to move file to external server other than Amazon's S3 service? I searched the issue queue and found a comment that reads
FTP storage/complete functionality is now in CVS for D5 and D6.
Does this includes move a file to a standard external FTP server?

If yes to previous question is Media Mover 6.x able to bypass Drupal local storage when moving a file to standard external FTP server? This is for saving local bandwidth.
Thanks

I would appreciate some clarity on this issue as well.

Yes, Media Mover supports moving files to FTP servers. Note that this does *not* mean that Drupal will seamlessly function using FTP as your storage system. You will need to write some theming overides to use the media mover files instead of the local Drupal files. Unfortunately, this is a limitation with Drupal's file system pre Drupal 7.

Thanks arthurf.
Could you or anybody give us some directions about theming overides? Like a link(s) to page with more information. Thanks.

If you're not already familiar with Drupal's theming system you might want to start with a more simple system. You might want to read this post instead:

Note that is oriented toward non-user generated content. You might also want to look at the cdn module
