How about sending the file via SCP? (it would be a much more safer to transfer files) -Aleksander Chris wrote:

I am trying to: - check whether an image file exists on a server, - check whether it does not exist on another server, and if not exists - to copy from the first location to the second. I am using cURL. First step to capture the image from the first server. When I return this image to the browser I get a lot of strange characters. So has this captured the image and what do I use next to upload to the second server? I was trying to use file_exists and had problems referencing the file location as "http://wwww.mysite.com/pic.jpg". But I know I can also look at using readfile() and file_put_contents(), $fp = fopen(), fputs(), fpassthru() etc. What is best way?
FTP. There's no way fopen is going to be able to write to a remote url, that'd just be such a huge security issue it's not funny.
