Hi there,

I have a server called myserver1.com with an ip adress(192.168.1.5) and I would like to send my data files to another server which is server2.com with an ip of 192.168.100.5.
The username of the server to which I will send the data to is user2 and password pass2.
(This is just an example to highlight)

How can I connect it?
I need to send the data after every 5 hours each day.

Best regards ...

ps
I would appreciate if I could get an explanation of how the code works ?

Many thanks

To be honest, I wouldn't write it myself: I'd use a backup program instead.

Assuming it is just data then there are no end of commercial copy or backup programs available, why reinvent the wheel?

For SQL try along the lines of...

SQL

INSERT INTO [server2].[database2]..states
SELECT statename FROM [server1].[database1]..states

Or a variation thereof.

Otherwise why not just post it as a webservice and have a second server just pick up the data directly?

Lots of options.
