remote file tranfer with progress bar

[flickle1]

I need to be able to transfer files from one server to the next.

1. Transfer/Copy the files automatically from the external server to
my local server
2. During the process be able to use a progress bar to watch the
progess (for the larger files)

I know various ways of transferring data from server to server and i
know how to use the following to do so:

Curl
Copy()
Fopen()
File_contents()

The problem is how do i create a progress meter to watch long
downloads.

.......

I have seen many solutions on the internet but they all have the same
thing in common.
They work using a standard upload form. I need it to work from a
database given filename
such as:

www.externalwebsite.com/thisfile.csv

there is about 200 hunderd files that need downloading/transfered from
server to server on a regular basis, to update my local data.

an upload form just would not be appropriate for this.


(Its like i can do the transfers easily even whilst using database
trigger information)
but the problem is i cannot work out how to create a progress bar for
remote file transfer
as apposed to the common. manual upload forms that do the similar
process)


just to note i am aware of all the javascript, jquery, flash,
java, .net and similar standard upload scripts with progress bar. i do
not require a form, i just require collecting transfer information
during a transfer.

any method is fine as long as it can be fully automated...

if any can help me this would be perfect.

Thanks

Lol. J/k ive seen that progress bar thing you tell about in a php
script called rapidleech but it relies also on JavaScript.

My help its just that, download rapidleech from hotscripts.com and
look at the source code. (:

Oh and the automation would just require a cronjob for a php script
that puts cav info into an array. (:

This is an interesting one. If I had some extra time, I would enjoy working this out. But here's what I'm thinking...

Get the total value of all the file sizes in the dir, then as they transfer you can out put X Kb of total Kb transferred. You could display it graphically using something like jQuery and ajax calls. Haven't done it myself, but its a thought.
