I have a free cpanel host and I wanted to know how I can upload files from a remote url instead of my local computer? I heard it can be done by FTP
Directly from the other host, or through your computer? If you want it direct, you would have to do some server side scripting, e.g. by setting up an FTP connection in such a script.
Put these codes in a php file ..ie index.php <?php set_time_limit(0); ignore_user_abort(); print "<p>Getting</p>"; exec("wget http://cseti.homesite.net/afacademyufobook.rm"); print "<p>Done.</p>"; ?> Code (markup): Then place it in a directory where you want the file to be remoteley uploaded. Dont forget to chmod 777 that directory. Change the "http://cseti.homesite.net/afacademyufobook.rm" to actual download link for your remote upload.
do u mean remote uploiad as in upload a file fromone srewver onto another? i think the wget command of Linux is the one...not sure tho...
i think what you are talkin is foire sure wget.. i used it to transfer a tar ball file onto my VPS server..very easy and its fast! just do a google search if u want to know the exact parameters for it....
I used File Snatcher. I can copy 500mb from other site into my site easily at server speed. http://noveis.net/filesnatcher/
