File upload using FTP

Anon

Does anybody know how I can upload files via FTP(using a standard html document where the user can select the file he/she wants to upload) and not the standard upload function provided by php4?

Thanks
Magnus

Well Magnus,

I have spent many hours searching on the net trying to find a ftp upload solution. The only way to solve it I guess is using an applet or ActiveX (in case of IE) control.

But I've only found full featured, way too heavy, applets and controls instead of the lightweight applet/control I was looking for.

Anyway they are listed below, maybe you can

use them.

try my function:
var $srcFile is element file name on upload form, <input type="file" name="srcFile">
var $ftpFile: new file name in server

function ftpupload($srcFile,$ftpServer,$ftpUser,$ftpPassword,$ftpFile) {
$err ="Error, Ftp connection has failed (".$ftpServer.") for user ".$ftpUser."! ";
$err.="Check the path to and the permissions for the file ";
$err.="(".$ftpFile.") ";
$err.="<A HREF=javascript:window.history.back()>Click here to back</A> ";

	$conn = ftp_connect($ftpServer);
	$login_result = ftp_login($conn, $ftpUser, $ftpPassword);
	if ((!$conn) || (!$login_result)) { return $err; }
	$upload = ftp_put($conn,$ftpFile, $srcFile, FTP_BINARY);
	ftp_quit($conn);
	if (!$upload) { return $err; }
	else {	return ""; }
}

but how can i make it so that also the source file can be on a ftp server like:

$srcFile="ftp.microsoft.com";
?

i haven't tested but you try:
int ftp_fget (int ftp_stream, int fp, string remote_file, int mode)
to get the file, then upload to another ftp server.
