PHP5 - Write file to another server

Hello all,

Is it possible with PHP to write a file to another server?

I am aware you can transfer files to another server by using ftp etc. I don't want to have any copy of the file that i need written on my server. If PHP can't do, is there anything else that can?

Thanks all

It really depends on what services are running on the other server, and what you have access to. ftp would be my first choice, if that wasn't available, I'd look into using exec to call scp command (I'm making the assumption your on linux here). If that was available, next I'd look into setting up a web page on the other server to handle file uploads, then use curl for doing the upload.

FTP - means that i have to actually have a copy of the file on my server and then send it. I don't want to keep copies, or even expend the effort to delete them after i use (send) them!

Exec() - I am on a linux server and i think this is the best idea so far. What commands would you use though?

CURL - Creating a page on the other server..hmm..Not sure about this since i may have to deal with many servers. I can't keep creating pages. But i guess i can use the first option and use ftp to send this file (initially, once) and then from then on use CURL!! What do you think?
