Re: Copying an image from one server to another

Initially I could not find much on SCP and rsynch is about synchronising folders, but that is only part of the problem. I don't want files in the target location that are not referenced from the target database. I hold references like this img[]=pic1.jpg&img[]=pic2.jpg then I parse it out into the img array. So I want to do it from php programming and am on a shared server. I may have access to the terminal for linux/unix but I am not too strong in that area. So am I wrong to be still thinking of cURL?

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.
