Hello

I have a backup server. And I want to do this following operation

1. ssh to that backup server (the remote server is already paired with my server,so no password entering screen)
2. fetch www.abc.com/file.zip
3. scp file.zip root@myserver.com:/home/user/www/file.zip

Its not joke, I know I can do this operation with wget. But its not what I want.

Because, The remote backup server only allows FTP and SSH access.
There is no http access( the server is rsyncpalace.com)

So, I have coded like this

<?php
$command="ssh user@backupserver.com"; // demo server
$output=shell_exec($command);

$command="fetch http://definitions.symantec.com/defs/20071022-017-v5i32.exe";
$output=shell_exec($command); // Sample file

$command="scp user@myserver.com:/home/user/www/20071022-017-v5i32.exe";
$output=shell_exec($command); // Sample file

print "<pre>$output</pre>\n"; //show output
?>

But It did not work.

Can anyone please let me know how to do this work?

I want php code. not pure shell code.

Not sure, how .cgi file will work , no idea

Please help me
Thanks

ok,almost all problems are solved now with the help of
nixCraft - Linux sys admin blog by Vivek
But I need 1 and only last help

I need to execute this command using PHP FILE

Code:

rsync -v -e ssh user@remoteserver.com:~/back/file.tar.gz /home/user/www/1

What this code will do is :

This will download a file called file.tar.gz from a remote server,remoteserver.com and will save it into /home/user/www/1

I checked this command via putty and is working.

But I need to add this command to a php file so that when a php file called download.php will execute, then this code must be executed.

How to do that ?

Any idea ?

Thanks

File : .cgi-bin/file.cgi

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/html
echo
echo
echo "<HTML>"
echo "<HEAD>"
echo "</HEAD>"
echo "<BODY>"
echo "<H2>Hard disk info:</H2>"
echo "<PRE>"
df-h
echo "</PRE>"
echo "</BODY>"
echo "</HTML>"

I want to replace "df -h" with this command

Code:

rsync -v -e ssh user@remoteserver.com:~/back/file.tar.gz /home/user/www/1

I changed , but its not working.

Well, you must run this command as web server user. You may be login as user foo using putty, but webserver run as nobody or apache or www-data user (depends upon Linux distro). So you need to configure ssh keys for your web server user too.

Code:

rsync -v -e ssh user@remoteserver.com:~/back/file.tar.gz /home/user/www/1

Another option is sudo
