You can also open a socket and put the files up via ftp. I use this
method frequently when I cannot move the uploaded files.
use the fopen("ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/images","w";)
command to place the files.
This doesn't work so well if the file already exists, so you have to
delete it first using the socket connection.
Like so ... (from user comments at php.net/fopen)
$ftp=fsockopen("ftp.your.host",21);
echo fgets($ftp,255);
fputs($ftp,"USER your_username\r\n");
echo fgets($ftp,255);
fputs($ftp,"PASS your_password\r\n");
echo fgets($ftp,255);
fputs($ftp,"DELE file_to_delete.txt\r\n");
echo fgets($ftp,255);
fputs($ftp,"QUIT\r\n");
echo fgets($ftp,255);
fclose($ftp);
