In the action class you get a FormFile which contains the data of the uploaded file , make a file in the server B with the content of FormFile.I mean in a shared directory in system B.

Never tried this,

File f = new File("\\machine\sharedDir");
Flush the content of the uploaded file in f.

it was my first experience. Will keep in mind about URGENT in future...

Mapping drive is not a good solution on linux boxes that slows down the traffic.

Is there anything else which can be done?

You can use UNC to solve this problem.You dont have to map drive for that.Also I am not sure whether this works in linux.

You want to transfer data from machine A to machine B and store it there (in a file, I assume). And you don't want to do FTP, you don't want to map a drive to machine B. So: what kind of server do you have running on machine B that can accept file transfers?

Actually now that I read your post again, you say you don't want to use FTP because you don't want the data stored on machine A. So it appears that you are assuming you must store the data somewhere on machine A in order to use FTP to get it to machine B. This is not the case.

Hi Paul,

this is what i want to do:

1). i have web application running on server A. User select file to be uploaded.
2) The file stream comes to action sitting on server A
3) I want to store this file on fileserver B without storing it on server A thats why i dont want to user FTP or rsync.
4) Both server A and fileserver B are linux boxes.

I hope i am clear now as to what i am trying to do. Sorry about the confusion.

Please help
