copying files to my server from my other server

burhan

Hi,
I want to copy a file to my server from my other server. Let us say the file stored on http://www.myfileserver.com and I am running my script at http://www.myscriptserver.com and I want to copy the file to http://www.myscriptserver.com/file

I am trying to run this script and it fails to copy the file. Is there something wrong? Thak you for your time.

$copy_from="http://www.myfileserver.com/file.swf";

$copy_to="file/file.swf";

if ( !@copy($copy_from, $copy_to) ) {
$fileerror="failed to copy file...";
}

if($fileerror) {
echo "FILE ERROR: $fileerror";
} else {
echo "File Successfully Copied!";
}

</body>

from [man]copy[/man]

If dest is an URL, the copy operation may fail if the wrapper does not support overwriting of existing files.

if this is the case, use [man]fopen[/man] to read the file and then fopen again to write it

Thank you weekender. You are really quick. I will try that now. By the way I would be glad to have an example for the use of fopen and fclose regarding to my prblem if you have time. Thank you again.

sorry mate it's 3:20am here and i'm a little rusty on fopen. Gonna go to bed now, but i will check back in the morning and if you've had no luck i will post something then

in the meantime, [man]fopen[/man]

ok, no problem. It is 5:30 am here 🙂 . Oh now I noticed, the destination is not a URL. It is the same server which the script is running. Good night.
