Uploading one image on to 2 different servers

adrianuk29

I would like to know how I upload one image onto 2 different servers. Uploading one image is fine becuase the upload script is already on the server so specifying the path is no problem, however how do I go about uploading the same image to a remote server.

//THIS ONE WORKS FINE BECUASE PATH IS CORRECT AND UPLOADS TO FOLDER//

@copy($img1, "/home/server_one/public_html/Photos/$img1_name") or $log .= "Couldn't copy image 1 to server";
if (file_exists("/home/server_one/public_html/Photos/$img1_name")) {

//THIS IMAGE NEEDS TO BE UPLOADED TO A REMOTE SERVER//

@copy($img1, "/home/remote_server/public_html/Photos/$img1_name") or $log .= "Couldn't copy image 1 to remote server";
if (file_exists("/home/remote_server/public_html/Photos/$img1_name")) {

I hope this makes some sort of sense.

Off the top of my head, you'd need to have server A transfer the image to server B (of course, after the user has uploaded the image to server A). If you have control over both servers, you have a good number of options to do this, such as FTP or HTTP. Using your own scripts, you could use CURL to have server A submit the image to server B. Although I'd think it would be a ton easier if you just use FTP since file transferring is its specialty.

Copying the file is always a great way to do it, but you mentioned there are 2 servers. Meaning the file needs to be on 2 physically seperate machines. Copying can still work, but the 2 machines have to be able to authenticate each other and then use something as a means of communication (I'm thinking of Samba, but there's a few other ways too). Again, for 2 seperate machines, FTP is probably the way to go.
