I recently setup a directory on Amazon S3 and made an subdomain on my site assets.mysite.org that links via C-Name to the S3 bucket. This works fine and I can type in the url https://assets.mysite.org/images/myimage.png as the path to access the image instead of the bucket path (https://xxx.s3.amazonaws.com/images/myimage.png)to the image file.

I'm now trying to set up the JCE Editor plugin Server Filesystem so I can browse/select an image from the image manager to insert an image in an article without having to type the path manually every time. I am having difficulty I think with the Base URL path to use in this case.

I have the Root URL set to https://assets.mysite.org/
and the Base Directory as /home/username/assets.mysite.org/

I have tried other base directory paths, but it does not seem to work. Just shows Home and Images directory with nothing in it. I believe the public settings for the directory on S3 are correct as I can access the desired image via url.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm not sure if this is correct or why why it works, but leaving the base directory blank seems to enable browsing image directories and selecting images from the image manager from assets.mysite.org and the url to the image is correct.

Thanks Ryan.
The server filesystem is working but I have installed the S3 filesystem and will set it up when I have a chance to do so and check it out.

Can this plugin be used to access files on another server?
