writing a file to a remote server

[sfullman]

Kind of the holy grail for me is to be able to write files from the script on one server to a folder on another server (with proper permissions set).

I have tried several different ways but with no success. I have set a file on the target server, test.txt to chmod 777.

Then this command:

line 30: $fpointer = fopen("http://samuelfullman.com/content/test.txt","w");
line 31: fwrite($fpointer, "please write this");

...doesnt work.

The error message is:

Warning: file("http://samuelfulllman.com/content/test.txt") - Undefined error: 0 in ../vhosts/digitalconcept.com/htdocs/cpm/php/function_lineAdd_v100.php on line 30

Can anyone show me some sample code that actually works, and give me the "big picture" on this?

Thank you,
Sam Fullman

You can't (in most cases) write with http.

Two ways come to mind:

1. Make a script(php, cgi, etc.) on samuelfullman.com that will perform the changes you need, then open that throught http from digitalconcept.com.

OR...

2. Open an FTP connection. This would be just like you did above, but with ftp, not http.
   example:
   fopen("ftp://username:[e-mail]/ftp/path/to/content/test.txt","w");

Well, that produced the following message:

Warning: php_hostconnect: connect failed in ../public_html/htdoc/team/php/what.php on line 9

Warning: fopen("ftp://[e-mail]/public_html/htdoc/index.htm","w") - Bad file descriptor in /home/vip/cpm001/public_html/htdoc/team/php/what.php on line 9

I've tried every possible path to get something to work, nothing does, any more suggestions?
