google storage cloud upload file using php

Question

Are there any cloud services out there that will allow automated uploading using FTP through PHP? I would like to use Google Cloud Storage if possible.

What I am trying to achieve is running a cron mysql-dump that on completion will automatically move the result file to a cloud storage giving a backup of the database on a separate server.

Answer 1

If your goal is to just backup a cron job, you could consider using a non-FTP utility like gsutil. Your cron job would have two steps: create a backup file with mysql-dump, and then upload that backup file using gsutil.

There are some third party programs that translate between cloud storage services and FTP, but I don't know of any cloud storage systems that support FTP directly.
