Something that I don't see much of any support for in any Drupal content-related module is the ability to store uploaded files on a remote server.

I think it would be great if there were an option for image field where, when a file is uploaded, it doesn't necessarily have to upload/be stored on the same server as the Drupal install. For instance, I'm working on a site that stores all media (images, video, etc.) on an a dedicated external host.

Is there any chance that this functionality could be incorporated into imagefield? Perhaps via the Drupal_FTP module, if installed?

Not gonna do this.. It's a fileAPI feature I will do independently of imagefield.

+1 for this feature.

@all: Do you know other modules that are able to upload files to a remote server?

@Coyote: I wrote an article comparing modules able to upload files to a remote server http://drupal.org/node/567432

@dopry: Do you mean the following module? http://drupal.org/project/fileAPI
