This is part of the file-model of Magritte. Some time ago I changed
this model to allow storing files externally as opposed to enforce the
use of a ByteArray within the image. The class MAExternalFileModel has
a two class variables (this is not really a dictionary) that allow to
configure these external files further. There are accessors on the
class-side that you can use to configure these settings:

MAExternalFileModel class>>baseDirectory: aStringOrDirectory
	"Defines the base-directory where the files are stored. This defaults
to a subdirectory of the current image-location."

MAExternalFileModel class>>baseUrl: aString
	"Defines the base-URL where the files are served from, when using an
external web server. This setting is left to nil by default, causing
the files to be served trough the image."

No, I don't think so. Copy the base-directory to your new server and
update the setting if necessary.
