I have a small file to be transferred between two computers every few
seconds. I'm using unix with a bare bones version of php, i.e. just the
original thing that gets installed when I run "yum install php". As there is
no webserver on any of these machines, I was wondering if there is a way to
transfer a small file between them and if there is, could someone be kind
enough to provide me with an example please?
Don't use php, use rsync (http://rsync.samba.org/).
It's fast, only transfers differences between the files, can work via an
ssh connection etc...
I guess you could also use a samba or an nfs mounted drive, but that may
depend on whether the machines are in a local environment or not (I
certainly wouldn't do it across an open internet connection, only via a
LAN connection).
