[SOLVED] SSH2 Copy File

[Asheeown]

I need to copy a file from one remote server to another remote server with valid ssh2 connections that are already made.  Do I have to use fopen to create the file then pull the content inside the file I want to copy and write it into the new one?  Or is there an easier way to go about this?

ssh2_scp_send($con, "/tmp/source.dat", "/tmp/dest.dat", 0644);

I tried the connection with both server connections.

are you sure you've got write permissions to the directory you're shoving the file into?

[Asheeown]

I'm connecting as root for development purposes, so yes.  Is there a way I can create the file first?  Maybe that will give it the shove it needs

I#m guessing you also have to use receive...:

If when trying to use this function you get "Warning: ssh2_scp_send(): Failure creating remote file," then try using

 

$data = file_get_contents("ssh2.sftp://$sftp/path/to/file");

IDK you could try sending MJ`s favorite linux command:

 

touch /tmp/file.ext

Hey Mar, sorry I didn't post back last night but I got it working.

 

<?php
$BashProfileSource = file_get_contents("ssh2.sftp://".$Source['sftp']."".$h[1]."/.bash_profile");
$BashProfileStream = fopen("ssh2.sftp://".$Destination['sftp']."".$h[1]."/.bash_profile", 'w');
if($BashProfileDest = fwrite($BashProfileStream, $BashProfileSource)) echo "<font color=\"green\">User ".$h['0'].": Created bash profile file</font><br>";
fclose($BashProfileStream);
ssh2_exec($Destination['Connection'], "chmod +x ".$h[1]."/.bash_profile");
?>

 

It's copying the .bash files for a user migration in linux

 

Thanks for the help the file_get_contents method worked the best.
