Copy File from Remote Server or Url

Copy file from remote server or URL

While copy() will accept a URL as the source argument, it may be having issues a url for the destination.

Have you tried specifying the full filesystem path to the output file? I'm assuming you're not trying to put the new file onto a remote server.

For example:

$file = 'http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AGI4aY2SFaE/Tg8yoG3ijTI/AAAAAAAAA5k/nJB-mDhc8Ds/s400/rizal001.jpg';
$newfile = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/img/submitted/yoyo.jpg';

if ( copy($file, $newfile) ) {
    echo "Copy success!";
}else{
    echo "Copy failed.";
}

The above worked nicely for me.

Best way to get a file from remote server and copy to local server using php

Just use copy

$source = "http://www.remotesite.com/video.avi";
$dest = "video.avi";
copy($source, $dest);

PHP - best way to copy remote file to local filesystem

$remote = fopen('http://...', 'r');
$local  = fopen('myfile.xml', 'w');

stream_copy_to_stream($remote, $local);

See http://php.net/stream_copy_to_stream. The simpler alternative would actually be to use copy.

If at all possible, you may want to use rsync instead though, which could make this a whole lot more efficient by transferring only the differences between the two files. I'd set up rsync using a cron job instead of doing this in PHP.

How to copy remote server file in document directory in swift

You can use NSURLSessionDownloadTask to download the file:

func downloadFile(url: URL) {
    let downloadRequest = URLRequest(url: url)
    URLSession.shared.downloadTask(with: downloadRequest) { location, response, error in
        // To do check resoponse before saving
        guard  let tempLocation = location where error == nil else { return }
        let documentDirectory = FileManager.default.urlsForDirectory(.documentDirectory, inDomains: .userDomainMask).last
        do {
            let fullURL = try documentDirectory?.appendingPathComponent((response?.suggestedFilename!)!)
            try FileManager.default.moveItem(at: tempLocation, to: fullURL!)
            print("saved at \(fullURL) ")
        } catch NSCocoaError.fileReadNoSuchFileError {
            print("No such file")
        } catch {
            // other errors
            print("Error downloading file : \(error)")
        }
    }.resume()
}

let stringURL = "https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/readme.txt"
downloadImage(url: URL(string: stringURL)!)

Update: SWIFT 2.2

func downloadFile(url: NSURL) {
    let downloadRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
    NSURLSession.sharedSession().downloadTaskWithRequest(downloadRequest){ (location, response, error) in

        guard  let tempLocation = location where error == nil else { return }
        let documentDirectory = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask).first
        let fullURL = documentDirectory?.URLByAppendingPathComponent((response?.suggestedFilename)!)

        do {
            try NSFileManager.defaultManager().moveItemAtURL(tempLocation, toURL: fullURL!)
        } catch NSCocoaError.FileReadNoSuchFileError {
            print("No such file")
        } catch {
            print("Error downloading file : \(error)")
        }

        }.resume()
}

 let stringURL = "https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/readme.txt"
 let url = NSURL.init(string: stringURL)
 downloadFile(url!)

copying a file from a remote server with php copy command

If these are your permissions ls -l /tmp

lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 11 Jul 20 23:44 /tmp -> private/tmp – ian 9 hours 

That looks like ordinary processes don't have write permission then. The last r-x means that te other users (not root or wheel group) lack the w write right. Usually Apache runs under a separate accounts, which is why PHP also cannot access it.
