upload file

Hi,

I dont know if this question is allowed here:

i have a web interface that let's user upload file, but i have 2 servers
and use dns round-robin. when a user uploads a file, it will only be
uploaded on one of the servers.

how can i make sure that when a file is uploaded on one server it will
also be transferred on the other server?

can i use php to execute the rsync command, and transfer the uploaded
file to the other server? or are there other ways to transfer? thank you

regards,
ron

Re: upload file [heur]

Hey Ron,

One method that I've used in the past is to dedicate one server based on
some kind of hashing algorithm (username?) to be the upload server. That
server should have a unique DNS entry (www2.domain.ext) which all URLs that
need upload processing refer to.

The other way to do it is to store the file as a blob object in a database.
That will scale regardless of number of web servers, but does take a hit in
terms of storing in the DB.

What about other filesystem solutions like NFS?

Thanks,
Chris

why not designate one place to store that data? then all files will be in
the same place and you can avoid wasting space with duplicated data?

Re: upload file

Hi Sir,

Is it possible to upload directly on a remote server using php file upload?
so that i will have everything on the remote server instead of in the local
server?

regards,
ron

Re: upload file

Ron,

You can use a Editor that have the service.

For example Dreamweaver or create a link to a ftp server.
