Transferring files from one website to another website's FTP

    Hi,

    Say I have a .zip file that is around 249 mb in size and it's hosted on my FTP.

    I now want to transfer this .zip file from my FTP to another persons FTP (into their public_html directory) using their FTP details. Is there any script out there that I can use to input the FTP details and the file I want to transfer and it'll automatically do the transfer for me, so I don't have to sit here all day waiting for it to upload through FTP myself?

    I would greatly appreciate your help on this.

    Just give your friend access to your ftp account and let him do the work. You can put it in a different directory and only give him ftp rights to that directory if you like.

    I think he can transfer it from yours to his via ssh. I don't mess with that much but my son lets me watch if I am quite. :)

    Yes, SmartFTP also does FXP Transfers (server-to-server) so it should be lickidy split quick. Otherwise, smartftp also has a Queue system so you can just let the queue run and it will enforce that it's finished :)
