Authenticating on a web server

Anon

Hello,

I want to write to a file that is on my web space in my ISP. They require authentication to write to your web space. Is there a way I can tell php to take my username and password and authenticate it to write to the file I want?

any help would be great,

Thank You,

Scott

$dfile = fopen("ftp://" . $ftpUser . ":" . $ftpPassword . "@" . $ftpServerAddress . "/home/oceanwestproperties.com/html/photo/$ftpFileName" ,w);

That worked great except for one thing, I used the a+ option with the fopen() function and when I go to my script once everythign works fine and it makes my file. When I go to it a second time it says that the file already exists and comes up with over errors. Can't you make it so you just append to the end of the file? I can't seem to get it to do that no matter what I do. Any help would be great.

Thank You,

Scott

Hi,

You can open files for either reading and writing via ftp (but not both simultaneously).

This is what the php manual says.

The a+ option opens the file for both reading and writing. That doesn't work.
I'm not shure if you can open a file in append mode at all. I don't think so. But the modes "w" and "r" should work.
If "a" doesn't work you could open the file in "r" mode and write it to a file on your server. Then modify the file and put it back to the remote server with "w" mode.
