Php File Transfer Help Needed - Urgent

I Want to transfer a back up from 1 server to another

its around 800 mb back up

i do not have shell access to these servers

can some one give me any script which will help

php cgi or perl anything will doo

 

problem is,a php script will give up before it finishes the backup, your host is likely to have thier max execution time well under the time it would take to complete the operation

 

Contact the new host and ask them to do the transfer for you.

 

^^Yeah that's your best bet, they can use mc to transfer files or something similar that's built into the system

 

or you can start from scratch..

but that's not a good solution tho. agreed on contact the host.

 

<?php

   set_time_limit(0);

?>

PHP:

 

yeah that's great, but then if your server admin have load balancing software installed the proccess will be killed by linux, so not really a solution for the working environment.

 

You mean something that checks for high cpu / ram usage and kills it accordingly? Yes it would fall victim to it.. but so would a normal backup given any other kind of script.

 

not if it were a system service, shell script using native ftp capabilities, but certainly any sort of third party language, yes
