[Resolved] File upload to remote server

[slopes]

Hi
I keep reading the manual and getting nowhere!

Can I upload files to a remote server, not the one the PHP is running on? Or maybe FTP to remote server after upload?

Like this:

$nudir = "http://www.somewhere_else.com/files";
$nuname = $_FILES['myfile']['name'];
if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'],"$nudir/$nuname")) {
die ("Error! Moving the uploaded file failed.");
}

Basically, the $nudir variable in the code here.
Or can u only upload to the server that the script is running on?

function add_file($table_name, $radiobutton, $insertartist, $userfile_name)
{
	$host = 'the $nudir host';
	$user = '****';
	$pass = '*****';
	$db = '*****';
	$mysql = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
    if(!$mysql)
    {
      echo 'Cannot connect to database. Please try again or email [email][e-mail][/email]';
      exit;
    }

I hope this helps

Thanks but not really 🙂

I'm a bit of a n00b but looks like the above is giving me access to sql server. What I'm trying to do is run a file upload script on my server but the files that get uploaded I want to go to a directory on another server.
I assume I have to take them as a form upload attachment which will be stored in my host temp directory but if I try to move them anywhere but to a sub folder on the local server, it won't accept it.

If I do this:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'],"files/myuploadedfile"

the file is moved into "files", a sub-folder of the directory where my script is. Fine.

If I try to do this:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'],"http://www.otherurl.com/files/myuploadedfile"

It fails. 🙁

I figure this makes sense coz otherwise I could upload to anywhere I like on the Net so I must have to provide username & password on remote server, but how?

Help appreciated, plz explain tho coz like I say I'm a n00b 😕

thanks

Why not use [man]ftp[/man]? Would only be a couple more lines of code...
