Sream A File Using FTP

[benj0323]

I have a very weird question and I'm not sure this can be done. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have an upload form that is going to have average file size of 50mb. This file is going to be stored on an alternate FTP server, not the server the upload form is on. So instead of having to upload it to the current server and then transfer/upload it again to the FTP server, is it possible to place the file on the FTP server right off the bat? I guess when the file is uploading from the client computer, can I make a direct connection to the FTP server and place it on there, or essentially stream it onto the FTP server?

If I can't do this the only solution I had was to set the form action to a file on the ftp server.

What do you think?

Thanks a lot for your help.

>> set the form action to a file on the ftp server

I think this is the better bet, otherwise I think you will have to double transfer.
