Upload php file to another server

Question

Upload heavy files to another server using PHP

Send Autocad files, and these files are heavy...I wanted to know if there is a way for the user to enter the site, in the sector to send these files, IE, will have a form where the user will send this file and will send to a server within the company.

You can use the ftp_put function if you want to upload these files via FTP.

<?php
$file = 'somefile.txt';
$remote_file = 'readme.txt';

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// upload a file
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_ASCII)) {
 echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
} else {
 echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
}

// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

As are heavy files consider using ajax in your requests and function set_time_limit on the server side.
