I'm wondering if anyone can offer me any guidance on this.. hope it's being posted in the right place :|.
I want to have a web server that can initiate an download stream via http and serve it out the other side via the FTP protocol.
So a user of the program would request the file and the server would initiate an http stream from another source and pass this transfer on via FTP back to the user.
Thoughts?
In my opinion, you could get this data stream by any protocol you desire (set up your own server using sockets, rest api and so forth), save it as a file and offer it to the customer via FTP.
This is the high-level design. What exactly are you struggling with?
(By the way, keep in mind you should prefer sFTP over FTP.)
Hope this helps.
HTTP to FTP data stream conversion?
