Uploading to a diffrent site on the same server

[RFH Reseller: amac10]

Hi,

I am familiar with uploading files but am wondering whether it is possible to upload a file via a script, to a different site on the same server?

For example:

I am on site1.com and I choose to upload an image, once I have selected the image that I want to upload, this then gets uploaded to the images folder on site2.com

Is there some form of base directory restriction that I can set up between the two sites?

I intend to use vb.net if anyone has any links to examples

Thanks in advance

Hi

I have tried it and it did not work, altho I am not a hundred percent sure my script was okay,
I don't think the the way the sever security is set up will allow it.

It is not possible due to the user restrictions that the site runs under. One method is to write a webservice on the second site to accept uploads. Then you can upload to Site1 into a temp folder, once the upload is complete you can have your script load the image onto Site2 via the webservice.

If you are using VB.Net and doing the upload via a web form then the best way would be to store the image filename in a database and have both sites link to the same path to look for the images.

ie. You upload to media.domain.com/images/ and store the filename in the DB. then both site1.com and site2.com can reference the image using:

<img src="http://media.domain.com/images/filename" alt="image file" />

Of course this won't work with HTTPS due to loading across domains, however in that case you could just store the Image in the DB.
