WordPress remote uploads folder

1 Views

I’m working on the WordPress site. It’s currently on client’s server and I want to move to my dev server.

The wp-content/uploads folder is more than 13GB and it’s a big problem during and after migration.

What I need to achieve is to set up a redirect rules in .htaccess file that will fetch remote files from uploads folder on their server.

For example if I call: 

my-domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/image.jpg

it should display: 

their-domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/image.jpg

so I wouldn’t have to migrate all file in order to make the site work.

Also is there a way in that case to write exception for folder 

my-domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/

so every image that I upload now will be fetched from my domain?

Thanks for the help
