hi guys,

the web server and file server resides in two different servers...how do upload the files??
do i use the ip address of the file server as the path and copy the file to that server
or do i save the file in a temp folder within the web server and then scp it to the file server
upon successful , unlink the file in the web server???

is there other way to do it???

thx

the latter is often done via FTP or similar transport.

If the file server and web server are separate machines, yes. FTP is sometimes the only way to upload files on certain web servers (by themselves) due to security/configuration issues the host imposes.
