hey.

My questions is that can a php uploading script[like the one shown below] be used to upload to remote [different] servers, rather than to the one it is being hosted on..

Thank you

// You may change maxsize, and allowable upload file types.

//Mmaximum file size. You may increase or decrease.

//Allowable file Mime Types. Add more mime types if you want
$FILE_MIMES = array('image/jpeg','image/jpg','image/gif'

//Allowable file ext. names. you may add more extension names.
$FILE_EXTS = array('.zip','.jpg','.png','.gif');

//Allow file delete? no, if only allow upload only
$DELETABLE = true;

If your remote server has ftp capability, replace do_upload function will the following. Be sure to set the login variables.

If your remote server does not have ftp, what other services are offered we could exploit?

// START
function do_upload($upload_dir, $upload_url) {

$temp_name = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$file_name = str_replace("\\","",$file_name);
$file_name = str_replace("'","",$file_name);

//File Name Check
if ( $file_name =="") {
$message = "Invalid File Name Specified";
return $message;
}

// login details
$host = "ftp.host.com";
$username = "";
$password = "";

// connect and login to ftp server
$conn = ftp_connect($host);
$result = ftp_login($conn, $username, $password);

// put file and return results
if (ftp_put($conn, $upload_dir.$temp_name, $temp_name, FTP_ASCII))
$message = "$file_name uploaded successfully.";
else
$message = "Somthing is wrong with uploading a file.";

// close ftp connection
ftp_close($conn);

return $message;
}
// END
