File copied between URLs
What this tool does
Copy a file from one web address to another. This tool moves data between supported locations such as web pages (HTTP/HTTPS), cloud storage buckets (S3), and file servers (FTP, SFTP). It downloads the file from the source and uploads it to the destination.
This tool does not guarantee that the destination will accept the file. For example, S3 destinations require specific authentication details in the URL, and some servers may reject the upload for security reasons. The result is based on whether the transfer was technically successful, not on content validation.
Common uses
- Moving a report from a public website to a private cloud storage folder.
- Backing up a file from an FTP server to an S3 bucket.
- Automating file transfers between different web servers.
