create a folder on a remote server

[rayphp]

i want to know if it is possible to create a folder on a different server than what the php script resides? of course provided the necessary authentication exists.

if so...then how would you code this?
e.g.

mkdir ("/path/to/my/dir/on/other/server", 0777);

I very much doubt that this is possible - think of the security implications...🙂

One way around this might be to have a PHP script to do this installed on the remote machine and call it from the local machine using fsockopen or similar...

What kind of authentication do you have?

Anyway, if there's FTP, you can use PHP's FTP functions:

and after connecting, you'd use ftp_mkdir.
