FTP Image Transport to Rackspace Cloudfiles (fka Mosso)


/ Published in: PHP
Save to your folder(s)

This is a little script I wrote for transferring a lot of images (around 700,000) from a server (via FTP), generating a thumbnail and sending both images to the Rackspace Cloud (via ReST API).

Since working with remote images as GD resources was something new to me, as well as using output-buffering to create files for RS from POST data, I wanted to share this to see if anyone had better, more efficient ideas for this type of transport.

Note: I used file transport instead of writing to an actual cloudfile object to avoid doing a checksum to see if all data was transported correctly, also because similar image functions (such as uploading via Facebook API) require an actual file as well.
