how to transfer a file to my server directly from another server

Question

Hey guys what is the easiest way to transfer a file to my server directly from another server, this way I won't download the file to my pc and then upload it to my server, so the requested file should look like http://www.examplesite.com/file.zip my server is running linux, but I don't have SSH access.

So how can I do this ? and thanks guys :D

Answer 1

You have to start a shell on your server. Then try :

man wget

And use :

wget http://www.examplesite.com/file.zip

If you can not have acces to a shell then tell us exactly what control you have over your server.

Answer 2

Without SSH it will be very difficult. Possibly rsync might work, if its on both servers with damons set up. RCP (remote copy) exists, its simlar to SCP with out the SSH part, but I doubt its installed due to security concerns.
