When it comes to devices like mobile phones we have app the facilitate the transfer of files like xender, appshare or even sometimes the use of bluetooth. Now, when it comes to computers the case is not different we have softwares and even sites that facilitate the same.
PHP Server to Server Transfer Script to Remotely Transfer Files
We are not limited to the number of files we can copy. Let's say we are on our desktop in the folder called web where we have .php file extensions and we need to copy the to remote server home directory. Our command will look like:
Is it possible to transfer a file from local machine to a remote server if the php script (say using ftp functions ) resides on a remote server?. I heard it might take to set up the local machine as a FTP server and the local machine should have a static IP address.
If the server and the client are on the same network, you can use a network share. Going this route, you can use the normal filesystem functions available in PHP (docs). Just use the network name and share path, flip the slashes to forward: "//servername/path/to/share" Here is a tutorial on setting up a network share, assuming Windows is the client OS.
using FTP you have more flexibility, the code above is using ftp_get to import the files from source server to destination server. But we can also use ftp_put to export the files (send the files) from source server to destination, using this code:
In the After Commit area, choose the target server or server group from the Upload files to list. Choose one of the existing configurations or create a new one: click and configure access to the relevant server or set up a server group in the Deployment dialog that opens.
I want run a php script on a server where are no files to transfer. This script should transfer files from one ftp (with password) to another ftp (with password).It is possible in php?ftp_fput allows only to transfer a local file to a ftp-server? Is it right?
I suggest you to use thephpleague's Flysystem FTP adapter. You can create a script based on this package and use it on your control server in order to transfer files from ftp server A to ftp server B.
Here is an example script that transfer data from server A to server B using sftp. NOTE: The following script assumes you have installed the flysystem package (e.g. composer require league/flysystem).
It establishes a connection to the source ($source) and the destination ($destination) servers. List the contents on the source (listContents() method) and in a foreach loop it reads the files (read()) and put their content (put()) to the desired place one by one.
Today we have come with a solution to the problem of transferring files from another host. Generally when you download the files to your computer and later upload the files to a new server require too much time. Moreover, your WIFI/router or mobile data is wasted. To overcome this issue, we are providing you with the PHP script to remotely copy files within your web hosting. Copying files from one server to server is faster than uploading from your computer.
SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer protocol, is a separate protocol, which uses SSH to secure the connection and makes the file transfer which traverses the file system on both remote server & local machine.
After this we know how to transfer the files from local machine to remote machine using SFTP, which is a simple tool but very powerful for transferring the files between the remote server and local machine.
If you are using Amazon S3 for your server's storage, and if your client contains an option to use multiple connections for a single transfer, make sure to disable the option. Otherwise, large file uploads can fail in unpredictable ways. Note that if you are using Amazon EFS as your storage backend, EFS does support multiple connections for a single transfer.
If the endpoint type for your Transfer Family server is VPC, identifying the endpoint to use for transferring files is not straightforward. In this case, use the following procedure to find your Amazon VPC endpoint.
Some SFTP file transfer clients can attempt to change the attributes of remote files, including timestamp and permissions, using commands, such as SETSTAT when uploading the file. However, these commands are not compatible with object storage systems, such as Amazon S3. Due to this incompatibility, file uploads from these clients can result in errors even when the file is otherwise successfully uploaded.
In the preceding command, sftp_user is the user name and transfer-key is the SSH private key. Here, service_endpoint is the server's endpoint as shown in the AWS Transfer Family console for the selected server.
Commands that attempt to change attributes of remote files, including timestamps, are not compatible with object storage systems such as Amazon S3. Therefore, if you are using Amazon S3 for storage, be sure to disable WinSCP timestamp settings (or use the SetStatOption as described in Avoid setstat errors) before you perform file transfers. To do so, in the WinSCP Transfer settings dialog box, disable the Set permissions upload option and the Preserve timestamp common option.
This setting will overwrite or delete all files on the destination server for the cPanel account. You cannot reverse this action. We strongly recommend that you first create a backup of the account.
When you transfer remote MySQL databases, the Transfer Tool feature includes any comments associated with the remote MySQL server. For more information about remote MySQL comments, read our Remote MySQL documentation.
The Transfer Tool feature does not transfer DNS zone templates. If custom DNS zone templates exist on the remote server, the system ignores these zone templates when it recreates the account on the destination server.
Use the Live Transfer feature to reduce downtime during account transfers. The interface enables this feature by default. The Live Transfer feature moves cPanel accounts to a new server and performs the following actions on the source server:
As discussed below, you DO NOT need the Site Transfer Wizard to transfer your site between folders, subdomains, domains and servers using Akeeba Backup. Just take a backup, upload it together with Kickstart on the new location and run Kickstart. This is the method demonstrated in our video tutorial which is freely available on our site.
One of the most common uses of Akeeba Backup is transferring a site between different locations (folders, subdomains, domains and servers). Typically this involves taking a backup, downloading it to your computer, uploading it to the new location alongside Kickstart and launching Kickstart to extract the backup archive and proceed with the restoration. The download and upload part of this process takes a lot of time, especially when you have a slower connection. The Site Transfer Wizard will save you some precious time by eliminating the need to transfer the backup archive through your computer, instead performing a server to server transfer.
The Site Transfer Wizard IS NOT the only way to transfer your site with Akeeba Backup and IS NOT guaranteed to work on all servers. If your site is very big, your server too slow or simply doesn't support the requirements of the Site Transfer Wizard then the wizard will fail to transfer the backup archive for you. We cannot do anything against your host's technical limitations. However, you can still transfer your site with the Manual method available in the Site Transfer Wizard. In a nutshell: you can take a backup; download the backup archive files to your site; upload the backup archive files and Kickstart where you want to restore the site to; run Kickstart. The Wizard will display a video tutorial about this when you select the Manual method.
Before you begin you must have create a new database for the destination site. This is something that Akeeba Backup and its restoration script is not allowed to do due to the configuration of most servers. This has to do with your server's database security settings and cannot be "worked around" in any way. If you are not sure how to do it please contact your host - this is a server-specific task and they are the only people who can help you with it.
You also need to know how to connect to the target location. This requires knowing the FTP, FTPS or SFTP connection information to the target location. This is required even if you are transferring to a subdirectory, subdomain or domain on the same server your site is currently on. If you are not sure how to obtain this information please contact your host; they are the only people who can help you accurately figure out this information.
If you will be using FTP or FTPS to transfer your site your current server must either have the PHP cURL extension installed with FTP support or the PHP FTP functions enabled.It must not block outbound connection to the remote server's FTP port (typically port 21). The remote FTP server must allow connections from your site's current server and allow at least 7 connection attempts to be made within 1 second.
If you will be using SFTP to transfer your site your current server must either have the PHP cURL extension installed with SFTP support of the PHP SSH2 extension installed. It must not block outbound connection to the remote server's FTP port (typically port 22). The remote FTP server must allow connections from your site's current server and allow at least 7 connection attempts to be made within 1 second.
In every case the remote location MUST be accessible through HTTP/HTTPS over the Internet from your site's server and your computer. Akeeba Backup will be checking that and won't let you proceed with the transfer if it can't connect.
You will connect to your site using plain (insecure) FTP. This is the simplest file transfer protocol, supported by most hosts - however it's also the least secure. This method uses the PHP native FTP functions. You may experience some compatibility issues with badly configured FTP servers. 2ff7e9595c
