More trouble with ftp

[chancho]

I tried to ftp with php's ftp functions, but was only able to upload zero byte files. So, I then tried to upload with fsockopen, but again, my script uploads a zero byte file. It bombs out at:

FTP transaction:
220 marlborough FTP server (CH/1.9) ready.
331 Password required for [e-mail].
230 User admin logged in.
250 CWD command successful.
200 Type set to I.
227 Entering Passive Mode (207,155,248,73,195,80)

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 90 seconds exceeded in c:\apache\htdocs\fnusa\releases\ftp.php on line 28

My script can be seen at http://www.financialnewsusa.com/xml/ftp.php

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmmmmmm, you're calling PASV at some point, might not be that.

Are you opening 2 sockets? FTP uses port 21 for control, but port 20 for data..........

Likely I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know...

I took the code out of your function, added arbitrary values for username, password, file. One thing I noticed was that the CWD to '/file' was calling an absolute server path rather than one relative to the DocumentRoot. Once I changed it to 'file', I got this output from your script:

FTP transaction:
220 archangel.daleco.biz FTP server (Version 6.00LS) ready. 
331 Password required for da. 
230 User da logged in. 
250 CWD command successful. 
200 Type set to I. 
227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,192,2) 
425 Can't open data connection. 
221 Goodbye. 
Success

FWIW, the directory is empty (but that's what the 425 predicts, right?)

i wasn't aware that I had to open 2 sockets, one for control and one for data. I'll try that and pray!
