"Copying" one file from one server to another
Hi everybody:
I need to copy one file from one server to another, and I would like
to know which is the best method in your opinion and how you would do it.
I have thought about three ways of doing it but i have never tried any
one of these:
1.-copy the file with a command in php (i don`t know if fsockopen has
to do with this).
2.-reading the file (readfile()??) and then writing it into a file.
3.-using a web service ( with this option, i want to copy or simply
receive the information in soap).
I am more interested in the third option, but i have no info. I would
thank references, URLs where i can read about web services in php.
Please give your opinion depending in two type of files:
1.-using a .txt
2.-using a .php
Thanks a lot,
Miguel 聲gel.

"Copying" one file from one server to another
hi,
if the files are stored in *nix servers you could simply use the UNIX scp
function passed through the php exec function. I don`t know if it works by
might be an idea.
@see http://it2.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php
@see http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mansec?1+scp

The execution must be done through a php script automatically.
Let`s say, i have a button in a page, i click it and the operation is done.

"Copying" one file from one server to another
well you could write a function like
function my_copy($file_path, $dest_server, $dest_username, $from_server,
$from_username, $dest_path) {
return exec("scp -B $from_username@$from_server:$file_path
$dest_username@$dest_server:$dest_path");
}
passing the parameters from a webform or hidden input values..
note:
- this works only if you have ssh access to both servers, if you don`t, you
can generate a key in order to allow access
see http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/scp.html
- the -B parameter is for avoiding the server from promting for password

Why not using FTP function on PHP? it`s easier and doable :)
see php manual for the example.

Hi,
You can copy file from one server to another
through PHP FTP functions.
Please refer the following url
http://in2.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php
Any way you need the FTP conection details for the
remote server to transfer files

"Copying" one file from one server to another
hello,
Try this
<?php
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
echo "FTP connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
exit;
} else {
echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
}
// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
echo "FTP upload has failed!";
} else {
echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";
}
// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

"Copying" one file from one server to another
Hi everybody:
Thanks for your advice.
I have investigated in this way, and i recommend the ftp class that pear is
offering, though i am not going to use it, because i need something that is
the fastest possible and i will use a smaller class to ftp.
I have other questions:
1.-the file am going to pass by ftp is vital so that the webs that are going
to receive it will not work if the connection is closed or whatever and the
file uploaded is not received properly.
You have to take in mind that the file is uploaded automatically without
human intervention, so nobody is going to verify if everything worked well.
How can the webs that receive the file verify that the info inside is ok?.
I have thing of writing something at the end of the file so that if when the
php of one of the webs include it, it should verify the tag at the end to
confirm.
Which other things can you tell so that the php file that includes the file
uploaded, knows it is ok.
If you want to know more, the next step is that if the php file knows that
the file uploaded is corrupt, this php file will read from one older.
2.-Any links for web services will be appreciated (not about google, paypal
etc...).
Adios,
Miguel 聲gel.

MD5? just like if you download Linux ISO from the internet, to confirm
that file ISO you downloaded is not corrupt you will need to check the
MD5 signature of the ISO file.

"Copying" one file from one server to another
I`m looking for a class or function that, from a numeric input, will return
the description for a time zone. For example:
//-5 is timezone for New York
get_tzDescription(-5) //returns EST
The closest thing I`ve seen is putenv("TZ=US/Eastern"), then using
date(`T`), but this assumes I have all the settings for TZ mapped to their
integers.
I would love a class or function that I can query for this info. Any
suggestions?
