I'm trying to write a small script in PHP that will upload a file automatically via FTP.
I'm having a bit of trouble getting the script to work properly.. i've cut it's size down quite a bit to show here and it's only the essentials i'm going to show ya.
I keep getting an error saying that $upload != true and i'm unsure why. Also, when I try to change directories it's not working as expected. Again, i'm unsure why.
If anyone could help me out w/this I would appreciate it:
<?php
/*
* Defining Server address
* and, if applicable, port
* (21 by default), username,
* password, and screenshot
* to be uploaded and where
* it should be uploaded to
* along with what we should
* name that file.
*
*/
$serv = "ftp.site.com";
$user = "user";
$pass = "pass";
$screenshotLocation = "C:\\0CurrentDesktop001.png";
$whereTo = "/public_html/";
$filename = "currentDesktop.png";
/*
* Checking for screen shot
* to be uploaded to remote
* host.
* If it exists, we'll upload
* it. If not, The script

if(file_exists($screenshotLocation)) {
// connect to FTP server
$conn = ftp_connect($serv);
echo "<span style=color:blue><b>$screenshotLocation Exists. Connecting to $serv...</b></span><br />";
}
else { die("There is no file to upload!"); }
if($conn) {
echo "Successfully connected to <b>$serv</b><br />";
}
/*

Anybody familiar w/the ftp functions in php? I've never really played w/them until just the other day. Seems to me this script should work, but hey.. what do i know 😛
