How does it work?
It works with a very easy procedure. The system copies the zip file from the old server to the new server. Just it. isn't it pretty?
Let's see the code of the script.
<?php
@ini_set('max_execution_time',0);
$message = null;
if(isset($_POST['source'])&&isset($_POST['destination'])){ $transfer = true; $source = $_POST['source']; $destination = $_POST['destination']; $source_ext = pathinfo($source, PATHINFO_EXTENSION); $source_ext = pathinfo($source, PATHINFO_EXTENSION); $destination_ext = pathinfo($destination, PATHINFO_EXTENSION); if (!filter_var($source, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) { $transfer = false; $message = '<div class="alert alert-danger text-center">Your source is not a valid URL</div>'; } else if ($source_ext!='zip') { $transfer = false; $message = '<div class="alert alert-danger text-center">Your source is not a ZIP File</div>'; } else if ($destination_ext!='zip') { $transfer = false; $message = '<div class="alert alert-danger text-center">Your destination filename is not a ZIP Format</div>'; } if($transfer){ if(copy($source,$destination)){ $message = '<div class="alert alert-success text-center">Your requested file has been transfered.</div>'; } }
}

Just this code, If you want to copy your file into subdirectory then you have to input new file name with the directory name. For example, your script runs in the public_html directory and your new file name is application.zip and you want to copy old server file into app directory then you have to input destination as app/newfilename.zip and then the system will copy the file to the app directory. After transfer file, you can delete this file from hosting. That's it.
You can download the file from GitHub
