FTP Upload from my server to other server

[mfaisalwarraich]

Hi everyone,

I have a VPS (Dedicated Server) where im hosting my website. I am creating zip file using PHP and size of that zip file can be huge like it can be 700mb or can be 1gb.

My requirement is to move that zip file from my web server to other web server. I am afraid that how i can upload such big files using php ftp and what type of restrictions php/apache impose on such type of big files transfers.

Simple thing to understand is this will be a transfer from one server to other server because it will be generated at my server and will be saved at my server first then it will be transferred to other server.

This type of file transfer is not using $_FILES as such max upload file size limit dont apply here (i guess).

Does linux wput command will work here for me? or should i use something else. I can't use desktop applicatons like cuteFTP Filezilla or something else to transfer file as i have to do it programatically using PHP.

So please guide me which way is best and how i can transfer such big files from one server to other server.

Thanking you.
Regards.

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

// check connection

echo "FTP connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
exit;
} else {

}

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY); // line 30

// check upload status
if (!$upload) {

// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
