afaik, this isnt possible in php. even if it was, youd have to open up permissions, which would leave youre site and possibly the server insecure.

youre better off using a program such as filezilla, which will run on your computer and do what you want.

Yeah, I don't think it's possible through java or php. I think you'd have to download the file to your computer, then upload it to your site.

Some file managers can upload directly from another site though, but still not automatically.

I dont think so.. you can create a directory for open uploads and set the permissions for just that directory such that any normal ftp user would get jailed to that directory. As for your ftp script, try http://th.php.net/ftp --> that will get you started. The first script I found on that page is given here:



     If you study the script a little carefully you'll see it's quite possible to modify it and have two sets of $ftp_username/$ftp_user_pass and $ftp_server variables - one for download and one for upload respectively. Then just use the ftp_get() function to fetch the file from one server and use ftp_put() to put it on your other server. You can use this whole thing as a function such that as soon as the file is uploaded to one of your servers, the upload function will call the other one and copy the file over to your other server.
    If you still don't get me - post again and I think I can write up a little modified script to suit your needs.

All the best

awesome. thanx for sharing that. ive learnt a few things from that

Hi,
i found a php script,
it is very very simple just you shoud type your favorable file below


NOTE: you shoud chmod your directory to 777
thanks for your post, every body

Thanks, but does that fulfill your primary objective --> that of copying the files off one server and dumping them on another ?? This looks more like a copy from one directory to other on the same server - kind of script...

No my dear
i saved it in a php file and upload to my serever and test it
after just 3 secends asta copied it
