FTP Question I have a file in my webspace that I want to upload to another server through ftp is it possible to do a direct transfer from one server to the other without having to upload it from my laptop (which has a slow as fuck net connection)???
probably not i'm afraid. depending on how your webspace is setup and how your isp configures webspace and firewall rules you will probably need to reupload to another server from your laptop.
if you have ssh access on the destination site, type "wget urltofile" at the shell and the remote server will download it. Doesn't work on FTP though, thats something you'd have to download and then re-upload.
It may be possible, it won't be easy and I'd not bother trying to work it out unless there is some really good reason? If it is possible it will be because you have command access to the server the file is on or the server that you want to move the file to? If it's shared/cheap hosting the answer is probably no.
Do you mean something along the lines of - \\serverIP\C$ Then copy the file over? Interesting little problem this then..
I mean having remote access to run commands on one of the servers so you have the same level of control over it as you do your desktop either via a tool such as vnc or access to the command line using ssh.
