Ftp Upload From Url Without Downloading File Locally?

[oricoun 4]

I think, that title, pretty much , says it all.

 

Is there any way to avoid slow internet connection and Upload file from URL into a server without hassle of downloading it locally into my own computer.

I have Aymen http post plugin, FTP plugin also, but I dont really see it happening with my programming skills.

 

If you guy have any suggestion, I am all ears.

 

Little off topic:

 

I recently discovered linux SCP command by moving data from one server to another - amazing!!!

 

scp -r root@SERVERIP:/home/file.zip root@ANOTHERSERVERIP:/home/

 

yay!!!!

The easiest way to do so is to create server script to download remote content. For example you can call your php file with url as parameter (navigate to http://www.yourdomain.com/getremotefile.php?url=http://www.remotesite.com/video.avi')

 

<?php 

$file = $_GET["url"];

// read the file from remote location
$current = file_get_contents($file);

// create new file name
$name = "path/to/folder/newname.avi";

// Write the contents back to the file
file_put_contents($file, $current);

Thanks. You know what I did? Bizzare...

 

I installed dropbox on my centos VPS:

https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx

 

now I can upload files from URL into a dropbox:

Easy with http post plugin

 

Than, I am using ssh plugin to move folders /files/ around, on my server.

 

YAY!!!!!!
