ftp_put

gsipe

I keep getting errors when I try to use the ftp_put command. I have FTP enabled in PHP and I made sure that path names are correct.

$server=ftp_connect("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX",21);
if($server==false)
{
header("Location: login.php?error=1");
}
else
{
$uid="test";
$pwd="*******";
$result=ftp_login($server,$uid,$pwd);
if($result==false)
{
header("Location: login.php?error=2");
}
else
{
$to="/var/httpd/htdocs/php/example/images/image.gif";
$from="H:\temp\image.gif";
ftp_put($server,$to,$from,FTP_BINARY);
ftp_quit($server);
}
}

The error is produces is:

Warning: ftp_put(): error opening /var/httpd/htdocs/php/example/images/image.gif in /export/space0/apache/httpd/htdocs/php/save.php on line 58

Make sure you have read/write permission either in $to and in $from

I had this error not so long ago and I resolved by chmodding 755 the local folder where I got the files to upload.

pay attention to which user is accessing the server's filesystem.

does the user have the proper permissions to create that file?

I had the permissions set at 755 so I changed them to 777 but an error still persists. I am pulling the file from Windows XP Home Edition which doesn't use rights.

jeremuck

where is the server and where is the client?
and where is the script?
how are you accessing the file on the client from the server? the server has access to H:\......blah? is it shared on the network?
I think the server must have access to that file.
Try uploading it so that server has access to it.

The server is a UNIX system. The script resides on that server. The file to be uploaded is on a local drive of a Windows XP machine. The user can currently read/write/execute things on the server and the user is logged into the Windows XP machine as the adminstrator. The odd part is that it works if both paths are UNIX paths.

ie.

// This WORKS!!!
$to="/var/httpd/htdocs/php/example/images/image3.gif";
$from="/var/httpd/htdocs/bg.gif";
ftp_put($server,$to,$from,FTP_BINARY);

// This does NOT work!!! (and yes the file does exist)
$to="/var/httpd/htdocs/php/example/images/image3.gif";
$from="C:\Temp\image3.gif"; ftp_put($server,$to,$from,FTP_BINARY);
