remote files

4 New Member
Hi all, I am quite a beginner in PHP and happens that I have a problem with accessing remote files that gets me frustrated for two weeks now. This site I have running on PHP provide to download video files that is stored in the same server.

Unfortunately, I'm losing space and decided to moved some of the video files to other server. I used ftp_connect as a connection handle and ftp_chdir going to the archive folder. The actual problem is the method for retrieving/ downloading the files. I can use ftp_get but this is unsuitable for large files.

Is it possible to use symbolic link for getting remote files?
What other alternative PHP function I can use for getting remote files?
If there's none, Somebody know third party program I can use here?

Your kindly responses is deeply appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, I finally figured out the best way to synch local and remote script folders, containing many php script files. What I used to do before was try to ftp all the changed files, etc. which was tedious and often broke. It was also very slow. What I do now is to pkzip the folder up, ftp the pkzip’ed data to remote, and then unzip it there, which recreates the directories and files.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
