unable to upload local files using ftp

Anon

Hi,

I'm trying to make a script that lets you select a file on you harddisk and automatically uploads it to a folder on the remote ftp-server. Everything is working fine. Logging on to the ftp-server is ok, making a new folder is working fine too, but the upload itself fails with the following message:
Warning: error opening filename in script.php on line 91

Hope you can help out a little.

Regards,
Joost Berculo.

what's on line 91?

I located the problem. More or less my fault.
When I open an ftp connection to the external machine I am only able to upload from the server on which the php is running.

I do not want that, I want to upload from my machine at home, to an external ftp-account, using the server on which php is running as a "middleman".

It's for a photoalbum where certain ppl have to be able to add pictures to, wherever their location.

Do you know a solution?

Regards,
Joost

You can still use FTP, because fopen is also not able to "passthrough" any files.

All you have to do is make a script that you can upload the file to (using PHP) and then have that script ftp (or fopen) the file to the "real" server.
But you have to do it one at a time.

Thanks, I'll do that (actually I've already done that :-)

I'm trying to upload a file from my local pc(WinNT) to an ftp-server on a Linux machine.The PHP script is located on a web server(Apache) on the same Linux machine. Login works, but the following row results in an error message:

$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source, "FTP_BINARY");

Warning: error opening "C:\dir_name\filename.txt" (that's the local file)

Seems similar to your problem, so I'm dying to know how you solved it!

Hi Maria,

Did you ever get an answer to your question. I have exactly the same problem and received some code relating to HTTP_POST_FILES that I don't quite understand how to implement, and now can't get hold of him. Would appreciate your help.
