PHP Exec SCP does not copy the file to the remote server

Question

I need a file from a server to another server (I own both) using PHP. I have the following script:

<?php

exec('scp /home/pat/file1.tst [email protected]:/home/pat/file1.txt');

I get this error:

Disallowed system call: SYS_pipe

What is that error? and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

PHP environment does not allow exec on your server.
