PHP code for server to server?

Hey

I got an arcade script, and it's got almost 2GB of this game pack.

I need a PHP server to server script to transfer the file to my server so I can extract it.

Does anyone have any code for this?

Thanks

 

You can use the copy() function, and then use settimeout() for about 6 hours

 

Thanks; any example of that code?

All I know is

But how do I add the URL?

Thanks

 

<?php
set_time_limit('999999999999999);
copy('http://site.com/file.zip', 'file.zip') or die("error");
?> 

PHP:

 

Use shell if you have it on your servers.

 

Ok so in

copy('http://site.com/file.zip', 'file.zip') or die("error");

http://site.com/file.zip is the source, file.zip is the destination?

Thanks

 

correct, test a smaller file first

 

Alright thanks.

I'm having a lil problem:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/lquid/public_html/lld/mygamescriptgames/copy.php on line 4

 

<?php
set_time_limit('999999999999999);
copy('http://site.com/file.zip', 'file.zip');
?>
try that

 

Use wget, very easy, fast and reliable.

Peace,

 

I believe for the copy() to work allow_url_fopen must be turned on in php.ini. Some hosts keep it turned off because it can allow remote execution in poorly written scripts.

 

I think you use wget instead of using any phpscript as the file size is large.

 

2 gigs is a lotta data, it might be worth spending an hour writing something decent to transfer it to save time while transferring.....

Server A is original, B is new machine, if it were me, I would write a script for server A, that script would descend into the directory with your files in, gather each small file into it's shared memory with gzcompress(file_get_contents()), echo some identifiable data, like original location of the file on server A's hdd relative to the path you started, then echo out the compressed data - the identifiable data and compressed data would be gettin written do the disk on server B as it arrives with a pretty simple curl class that recieves the data and every time an identifiable line comes along it creates that identified location, uncompresses data and writes to the file 1meg at a time - you could compress that 2gb to under 500mb in this way.........

 

why not gzip it in shell and then wget it from the new server and then unzip it?

 

Alright thanks

Will try all the ideas out in a sec.

 

I would try to do this with scp, check the man pages for the correct syntax.
