Help please!!-FTP File download through another web server.
Hello
Help please!!
simplified scenerio: ftp server & web server are connected to a switch. Clients cannot access the ftp servers, but can connect to the web server (eg - index.html), webserver has to provide a file by fetching it from the ftp server.
I downloaded and installed Xerver+PHP. Please advice how to do the scriptings.
If by a "switch" you mean a router, just use the local network addresses (usually assigned by the router). You need to make sure that static IPs are being assigned to the servers (at least).
thanks for the reply,
The whole system is on one network- just 1 switch & all have static IPs. Client PC is connected through a router into this switch. I did a PHP script FTP_get(), but that downloads the file from ftp server into the web server.(what I want is to download into the client PC. )
I cannot find PHP scripts which runs at web-server that fetches file from FTP server and downloads it into client PC.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
[I succesfully tried FTPUSE software to map the ftp sites into drive letters and then everthing is fine. But I wish to use PHP, if possible, to do this job, instead of FTPUSE s/w]
thanks and regards

I do not understand your problem. The users are responsible for initiating a download. It seems to me that you need to ask yourself why the files are hosted on the ftp server in the first place??? But I'm no server guru.
how can i redirect a client to a ftp site, eg, when he clicks a link on my web page, he should be redirected to the ftp website containing the file and start download.
thanks and regards

If it's on Apache,create .accesses as simple code to redirect
