ftp_put problem

Anon

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the ftp_put function. It is returning a warning saying there is an error opening the source file.

ftp_put($connect,$dest_file,$source_file,FTP_BINARY)

Can anyone help.

Thanks in advance

Does $source_file contain a path/file that points to an existing file that the PHP user has read access for?

micfur

Yes. Im testing it on my local machine (win 98) and it includes the path :

$source_file = "c:\path_to_file\file.txt"

I have also escaped the back slashes.

Thanks for the help

use this:

if (file_exists($source_file))
{
echo "yup, it's there";
}
else
{
echo "nope, can't find it";
};

and see if that works.

micfur

Yes, that was the problem. It cant find the file. But I dont understand why. The file is there and I've tried it in a couple of locations and it still cant find it???

[deleted]

did you try escaping the backslashes when you used the file_exists function?

micfur

Yep. The code I am testing with is :

$source_file = "C:\testing.txt";
if (file_exists($source_file))
{
echo "yup, it's there";
}
else
{
echo "nope, can't find it";
}

And it cannot find it. very strange!

FTP problem:
I'm using ftp PHP function. It works right with a server. I want to use them with another server but I have some problem. After connection this FTP server answere with some line of comment like "welcome to FTP server XXYY, good work!"
But these lines make some Warning message in my script and it doesn't work OK:

Warning: ftp_login: 1 line of comment by Host in /home/sites/site81/web/script.php3 on line 14

Warning: ftp_pwd: 2 line of comment by Host in /home/sites/site81/web/script.php3 on line 22

Warning: ftp_put: 3 line of comment by Host in /home/sites/site81/web/script.php3 on line 23

How can I do to ignore these Comment messages?

Thank You

Please don't post your question in someone else's thread.

Anon

same problem here. 🙁
I would love to hear it if you find a solution

Anon

salu2

Anon

I have the same problem.

I think it is probably an error configuration of the ftp server (in guest class), but i do not sure.

Anon

I have the same problem...Have you found the solution ???

Anon

I was having this exact same problem. After playing with it for a while I found that it appears the path you use in the ftp_put function needs to be relative to the location of the PHP script. Once I changed my string location to reflect this the upload worked perfectly.

I'm having the same problem with PHP4 not finding the file...and your answer doesn't make much sense to me. How can I guess what the source file location will be in regard to the location to the PHP script. Can you be more specific...perhaps show the piece of the code?

Thanks!

Anon

I am by no means an expert on PHP, or the 'ftp_put' function, but after reading the symptoms, I was wondering if maybe the built-in transfer limit (default is 2M😎 in the php.ini configuration would have anything to do with your problem.

In other words, what is the size of the file you are trying to upload, and what is the php.ini setting for maximum upload size?

Try that

<?
$ftp = ftp_connect("your server");
ftp_login($ftp, "username", "password");

//this ligne take all caracters after the next Backslash in your Path of your images
//ex. : if $PathImg = "c:\windows\youimg.gif" , then $ImgName will equal yourimg.g
$ImgName = substr($PathImg,strrpos($PathImg, "\")+1,strlen($PathImg)-strrpos($PathImg, "\"));

$PathImg = htmlspecialchars($PathImg); //take away all speciaL html caracters like <, > , space, etc...
$ImgName = strtolower($ImgName); //Same than C++
$ImgName = strtr($ImgName,chr(32),"_"); //Take away all spaces in your Image Name (for linux, unix, etc...)
ftp_put($ftp, $ImgName, Stripslashes($PathImg), "FTP_BINARY"); //send ftp
?>

normally, it will works

tell me if errors

First of all "FTP_BINARY" - comes without "" ,- its constant, not string. If you use "" php converts it to constant and it will be zero (or ASCII mode by default)!

Anon

I was having this exact same problem on windows client.
When you are the client, your path cant\'t be relative to the location of the php script.
I think it 's a bug.
If someone have the response.

excuse my english, i'm french.

Anon

Yeah, but we still don't have a solution here.
I think the bugs's not necessary in the code itself, cause i have a working ftp-upload and a non-working. ...and i'm gettin the exakt same errors.
