Perhaps someone can tell me what is wrong with my code. I can connect to the ftp site, however the file upload does not work. Does this have something to do with the destination path? Thanks.
<?php
// set up basic connection
$ftp_server = '63.135.102.252';
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$ftp_user_name = 'user';
$ftp_user_pass = 'pw';
$destination_file = 'somefile.txt';
$source_file = 'somefile.txt';
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result))
{echo "FTP connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
exit;}
else
{echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";}
// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
// check upload status
if (!$upload)
{echo "FTP upload has failed!";}
else
{echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";}
// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
I found the error. It was due to the fact that I did not have a file initially on the server named somefile.txt. This leads me to believe that a PHP ftp method is limited to sending "updated" files to the web server only. Can PHP ftp be used for sending original files? (i.e. a file that is not already on the server?)
