Upload by FTP

Anon

Hi,

I am coding a client web ftp with php4.
I have got a little and a big problem.

My little one is that, i am obliged to connect to ftp server each time i submit my page. Isn't it possible not to do it ?

Now, my big problem is that server tells me : "error opening 'myfile' in 'my php page' on line 'line'" when the client is windows.
This line is : ftp_put(1, $f_remote, $f_local, FTP_ASCII);
Moreover, my ftp connection is anonymous one.

Thanks a lot to help me

1) I'm not able to clearly understand your problem. You said my big problem is that server tells me : "error opening 'myfile' in 'my php page' on line 'line'" when the client is windows. What do you mean by the 'client' is windows? Are you uploading a file via FTP to a windows computer? And is this program an FTP uploader?

2) About your little problem: well, you do not have to open an FTP connection each time your php gets loaded. Use an if conditional to test whether you have to upload/download something first; and then create the connection.

1)I use ftp functions which are in the php manual.
I would like to upload files from windows computer to gnu/linux ftp server.
I tried to upload files from gnu/linux computer to gnu/linux ftp server : it works if files are readable by ftp user but it doesn't work anyway with a windows client.
Any idea ?

2)The second problem was :
First, i do an ftp connection and list all files and directories from the root directory.
Second, to do another thing (like remove a file, rename a file, ...) i must submit my page (for php computing) and so, if i don't connect again it doesn't work.
Maybe ftp functions which are in the manual are not very good ?

I think your hitting the wall we all hit when it comes to file uploads in a browser; For sequrity reasons, we dont have access to the files stored on the users machine...

If ANYONE finds a way to list files or even retrieve information on that file BEFORE it is submited to the server, I am all listening 😉
