Rerwiting a file through ftp, using sockets

poring

Hey. I'm trying to make a code which would write (or rewrite) a file on a remote server, using ftp. Here is my code so far:

$user = 'myusername';
$pass = 'mypassword';
$file = 'hey.htm';


if ($ftp = fsockopen ("users.pandora.be", 21));
fputs($ftp,"USER $user\r\n");
fputs($ftp,"PASS $pass\r\n");
fputs($ftp,"DELE $file\r\n");
fputs($ftp,"QUIT\r\n");
fclose($ftp);



$handle = fopen ('ftp://' . $user . ':' . $pass . '@users.pandora.be/' . $file, 'w');

fwrite ($handle, 'hello!');

fclose ($handle);

This works fine, but the problem here is that I connect twice, which is a waste of time. Would it be possible to do all this using only one connection? I think it should be possible to write the file using the socket, but I don't know how.

Thanks!

What's the purpose of this part?

if ($ftp = fsockopen ("users.pandora.be", 21));
fputs($ftp,"USER $user\r\n");
fputs($ftp,"PASS $pass\r\n");
fputs($ftp,"DELE $file\r\n");
fputs($ftp,"QUIT\r\n");
fclose($ftp);

Your fopen will already do that for you. Because you're opening with 'w' mode, PHP will (or should anyway, I've never tried it with FTP) automatically the file that is to be written.

No it doesnt. It refuses to open it if the file already exists.
