displaying images stored on another server using ftp functions


Recommended Posts

i am using ftp_nlist() get the list of files in a folder containing images (on another server). how should i display those images on my PHP page? im thinking about "ftp_get"ing them, storing them on my server, then displaying them. but seems like an inefficient way of doing it. any suggestions?

I think the biggest consideration here would probably be bandwidth.

 

Do you have a bandwidth allowance on either server, what's the performance like on each of the servers, how quickly does the first one respond to the second ones requests etc.

 

It's always got to be preferable to retrieve images locally.
