Mutli-threaded FTP

Can this be done?

[cybersphere]

I have an FTP script that connects to multiple servers and uploads files.

I would like to create a multi-threaded app that does this simultaneously on multiple servers.

Can this be done?

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. Can you elaborate a little? I'm thinking PHP isn't something you want to use for this.

Multi-threaded, no, but multi-process, yes. You can use fork() to create slave processes to do the transfers in parallel. It's a bit tricky, though.

I think you can connect to multiply servers in the same script, but not really simultaneously (to my mind) or it will be very hard...
