Upload files to a different server

Is it possible to upload files to a physically different server? The idea is to have a dedicated file server where all files are stored and managed.

I have no idea whether this is possible, let alone how to pull it off. It's a client request. Any clues? Thanks.

Well, you could convert the file into base64 and send it in a XMLHttpRequest. The server could then convert the string back into the file and store it there.

You could send the file via a HTTP request using cURL.

If it's a dedicated file server, what about using FTP?

Thanks for your suggestions! I'm most interested in the PHP FTP library. Just wasn't aware of its existence. Gave it a little try already and it seems to work like a charm. Very easy to use, and probably the fastest of the three suggestions too, right?

Moreover, I forgot to mention the connection needs to be secure. Seems like ftp_ssl_connect() will come in really handy then.
