Validating FTP Username & Pass

[Anon]

How can I verify that an FTP username and password are valid? The code I tried is below, but it seems to always turn out TRUE and redirect to the page specified... no matter what the password/username/domain is...

I tried:

if ( !$CheckLogin = fopen("http://$username:$password@$domain/", 'r+') )
{
fclose($CheckLogin); // close link

print ("Cannot Log In!!\n");
}
else
{
fclose($CheckLogin); // close link

session_register('username');
session_register('password');
session_register('domain');

redirect('/WebSite/?' . SID);
}

Try using FTP instead of HTTP in your first if statement.

Okay, I tried FTP... now I can't log in at all...

There's got to be a way to do this...

I am getting the following errors now (using ftp:// instead http://):

Warning: File not found in D:\resadmin\cyberspeed\cyberspeedsolutions.com\www\phpWebCITE\login.php on line 58

Warning: fopen("ftp://[e-mail]/","r+") - No such file or directory in D:\resadmin\cyberspeed\cyberspeedsolutions.com\www\phpWebCITE\login.php on line 58

This is the syntax to open an FTP connection.
Do a check on the $login_result variable to see if it was successful.

$ftp_server = "ftp.myserver.com";

$conn_id = ftp_connect("$ftp_server");

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "$ftp_user_name", "$ftp_user_pass");
