Is there a method using the Rebex ftp library to directly transfer files between 2 ftp servers without having to download locally and then push to the second site?

Is there a way, to setup directl file transfer from Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive... to FTP server. Is it "physically" possible or/and does any API and programming logic even allow that?
No, Dropbox does not offer an FTP interface or functionality like this. Dropbox offers an HTTP based API:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core
You could use that API to programmatically download content from Dropbox, and then upload that to an FTP server, but that would require a client in the middle to manage the download and upload.
I am using an ec2 instance to convert some videos online. Is it possible to make that converted file available for public download? Like I could send a link to my client where they could download the videos?
Otherwise I would have to download the file myself, reupload to mega.co.nz or something and send the link to the client.
Thank you
In order to make the file available, you can install a web server or FTP server. Since I don't know which operating system you are using, I'm including guides on how to install one of those servers in Debian Linux - this will probably also work for you if you're using Ubuntu.
I just have to find out, as I'm quite new and I've been digging into this for many hours now, but I just need to make sure it's possible to use Fine-Uploader to upload files on a php site to a remote SFTP server.
To be specific, I have a webserver with a php site, and I need to have an upload function for graphic files that will go to a locally hosted SFTP server. If you can at least confirm for me that this is possible, I think I can figure out the rest with docs.
So far, I've downloaded the git for fine-uploader, installed npm, installed grunt, built the git repository, and now I believe I have to add server side php handlers.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
Fine Uploader only understands HTTP; not FTP. That being said, you could easily have Fine Uploader uploading files to an endpoint on your server, and then -- maybe after some server-side processing -- serve those files over (S)FTP -- or any other protocol -- if you would like.
Fine Uploader's primary goal is to normalize the file upload experience in all browsers. The pros of using this over an FTP client would be that any user that has a web browser should theoretically be able to upload files to your service. What your service does with those files afterwards (whether that be hosting them on an FTP server, transcoding multimedia files, etc) is completely up to you.
Hope this helps.
I'm new to Joomla and trying to help on a project.
I'm trying to switch host providers for my live Joomla Website.
I've successfully connected to FTP within Dreamweaver and the sites files are not displaying. Locally, I see the folder 'htdcos' with only 'contact.php' in it and only '.ftpquota' on the remote end. How can I access the websites files to back them to my hard drive to re-upload them to the new host?
Use http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Use a FTP such as FileZilla http://filezilla-project.org/download.php Dreamweaver is not that much compatible with Joomla's architecture.
Most of the web hosting companies, provides a back-end (CPanel) where you can zip the website root folder and upload it to the site and extract them, that way its very easy to deploy your joomla website.
I use Filezilla to do my FTP duties and I'm unable to copy files without making a copy to the my local computer.
I doubt Filezilla is bad software. Is this just an inherent quality of FTP?
The FTP Protocol does not define a "copy" command.
If your FTP client has a copy command, then it has to implement this itself using what's available through FTP. This works out to something like: GET/RETR , CWD , PUT/STOR .
Some FTP servers will implement proprietary extensions and offer a command like COPY. A client may or may not choose to implement these, in which case it doesn't involve a local file copy.
According to the error messages I get within WinSCP when I try and duplicate or copy.. apparently it is.
I'm guessing there's some FTP theory on it somewhere. Even to duplicate WinSCP wanted to temp dump stuff to my local machine.
There aren't any copy commands listed at the list of FTP commands, so it's not in the FTP definition. It's just something FTP clients add themselves to be more user-friendly.
