Thanks, I’ll look into FXP.
I’m not using GD for hosting and this is not a one-time thing. I’m finding I’m having to zip up and copy files from one site to another on a more frequent basis, so I wanted to be able to do it more directly.
I guess an FTP client that lets me simulate that would be almost as good — with two windows that look at two different FTP sites, and I can simply drag-n-drop or click to send a file from one to the other, and it handles the DL and UL invisibly.
All FTP clients I know of are only between another system and my local machine.
I seem to remember running this via FTP to FTP connection, I think it was called FXP? That's the direction I'd start looking at - Wikipedia has a list of FTP clients that support FXP:
Comparison of FTP client software - Wikipedia
If you're using "that" hosting provider, (rhymes with SmoFaddy) I know at one point you could call into their AHS (Advanced Hosting Support) group and kindly ask them do the aforementioned transfer, but that was a 7 years and several re-orgs ago.
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….
