now I want to copy abc.exe to myweb.com. how can I do that. In simple way direct copy file without download+upload

 

What type of server do you have and is it only restricted to a PHP script?

 

Anyway, here is a PHP script that allows you to save files from another web server onto your own.

<?php
/************************

#The URL of the file to download.
$url = 'http://samplewebsite.com/download_file.exe';

#The name of the file you want saved on your server.
#NOTE: This will save in the directory with the PHP script!
$filename = 'downloaded_file.exe';

/************************

************************/
#Initiate the curl handle.
$ch = curl_init();

#Set the file url we're getting.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

#Create a file for cURL to write in.
$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');

#Write to the file with cURL.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

#Execute the above commands.
curl_exec($ch);

#Close the open handles.
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);

PHP:

 

copy('http://otherweb.com/abc.exe','/yourhost_path/filename.exe');

PHP:

One detail - your second param usually should be your file path, not your file url.
Read for details in php copy function manual.

 

use simple copy() function...

 

Wow! I didn't realize that copy() could be used for a file not located on your computer. I guess one learns something every day.. haha.

 

Actually this possibility (copy files from remote servers) depends from your server config, AFAIK.

 

I used copy() function only with images..
just to grab images and articles from football news sites..
