What to do if images path has to change?

[brainwarp]

Hello!
We have to migrate a website and for this path of images has to change. In the component this message appears

"Der absolute Pfad zum jDownloads Hauptverzeichnis in deren Unterverzeichnisse die hochgeladenen Dateien gespeichert werden. Das angegebene Verzeichnis sowie alle Unterverzeichnisse müssen beschreibbar sein. Wird der Pfad geändert, muss der Inhalt des alten Verzeichnisses (mit Hilfe eines FTP-Programms) zum neuen Verzeichnis verschoben werden. Bitte beachten Sie unbedingt die Hinweise in der Dokumentation bevor Sie hier Änderungen vornehmen!"

I could not find the information in documentation - could you please tell what to do?

Thank you and best regards!

Brainwarp,
Please advise version of Joomla, jD and PHP you are using.  How did you move the site? Normally sites are moved/copied using the Akeeba component.

If you moved the site to a new location then you need to set the absolute path for jD. Go to the the jD Control panel, click on Options button at top right and select Path Settings then put the abslute location in 'Upload directory path'.

However there may be other things such as the Database which will stop jD working

The translation of the message into English is below
The absolute path to the jDownloads main directory in whose subdirectories the uploaded files are saved. The specified directory and all subdirectories must be writable. If the path is changed, the contents of the old directory must be moved to the new directory (using an FTP program). Please be sure to follow the instructions in the documentation before making any changes here!
