Reading file from different server

[xiaoleiqq]

for some reason the data files are stored in different server
and I need to access those files, just wonder which module is available to perform this job?

THanks,

We'll need a bit more information.

Are the file accessible via the webserver/ftp/sftp/SCP ?

It is accessible via sftp and scp, not sure about ftp,

The situation is we have couple servers, say server1 is doing webhosting and server2 stores large data files that needs to be analyzed,

right now we try to writing a web-script that runs the data-analysis program, which located in the server2 with data files.

Thanks for any input..

samba would be best, access the file as admin/local user, are the machines on the same physical network? can you elaborate?

Hi,

Thanks for the input, we decide to use SSH module to run the analyze program on the data server instead of having that program on web-hosting server, and hope it works...

Again appreciate you help
