PHP transfer files from server to server in LAN
<p>So, I have 5-6 pages of requirements. I'm trying to build this application in PHP based on the requirements.</p>

<p>I want to transfer files from one server to the other server in LAN, and then send a shell command to the other server to find out if the file has been transferred successfully.</p>

<p>In php, I can transfer files using FTP, and send shell commands using SSH.</p>

<p>Using the methods above, I will need to open connection to the server first, but I don't know the ftp server name, domain name, ip address, or anything like that.</p>

<p>I only know the the server ID (I'm not sure what this ID is, but I guess it is like the computer's name).
An example of the server ID is: "c23bap234"</p>

<p>How do I open a connection with just that server ID? These servers are in the same building, have LAN connection, don't have connection to the outside world. These machines have PHP, Apache, ... installed.</p>

<p>If my post doesn't make sense to you, it's because I'm a learner. I hope someone can help me on this.
Thanks in advance.</p>
