Thanks for the suggestions.

1. I don’t know.

2. I don’t have root access, and am unable to run SSH/SCP.

3. This is a shared server. no console access is allowed. No SSH, no rsync, no nuth’n.

That said, it’s a full WEB HOST. So I can upload a small php script that could reach out to the other account and copy the file over, maybe via an FTP xfer or HTTP copy.

It seems like a bunch of hoops to jump thru simply because they won’t set up a shared folder that all of the domains in my account can access, but … what can I say. It’s a shared server.

That does give me an idea, tho….
