about remote copying files

[wangwq]

hi,

In my current php project, I am trying to copy a file from one machine to another within the same LAN. But it seems that the "copy" statement does not work. Full address of the file is something like "\hostname\dir\filename". I am using php 4 under w2k. Could any one please suggest me a solution to this problem ? thanks a lot.

Ps: can i access the files in an remote server in php ? i mean not using "http:// ...", but something like "\hostname".

I don't think that PHP supports UNC's -- you might have to map the drive first in order to copy them.
