trying to use php to ftp

[sfullman]

I'm connecting via ftp OK, using ftp_connect and ftp_login, I show a resource ID# is created and everything is fine.

But when I call ftp_put() as follows:

$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_ASCII); //or FTP_BINARY, get same message

I get this:

Warning: ftp_put(): 'STOR': command not understood. in /virtualhosts/blackletters.com/www/ftp.php on line 26

Any clues what's up with that?

Thanks,

It looks like the problem is not with PHP but with the server you're FTPing into. What are your running for an FTP server?

Got it solved, used curl instead:

$result = curl -T myfile.htm -u username:password [url]ftp://othersite.com/path/newfile.htm[/url];

Those backticks for system calls are awesome!

If your pass any strings to that, make sure you validate their contents.
