ftp_put

kante

if i connect with my ftp client with the same user pwd i use with the following script all works correctly
but if i use

 
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 

	// login with username and password 
	$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); 

	// check connection 
	if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { 
	echo "FTP connection has failed!"; 
	echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; 
	exit; 
	} else { 
	echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name"; 
	} 

	 ftp_chdir($conn_id, "remoteserverPath/tmp/");


	// upload the file 
	$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $filez_name, $filez, FTP_BINARY); 
	// check upload status 
	if (!$upload) { 
	echo "FTP upload has failed!"; 
	} else { 
	echo "Uploaded $myfile to $ftp_server as $myfile"; 
	} 

	// close the FTP stream 
	ftp_close($conn_id);

it returns this error
Connected to "my server ip", for user myUser
Warning: ftp_put(): myfile.jpg: Permission denied.
FTP upload has failed!

why permission denied?
i can upload with the client ftp , what makes the error for this script?

thank you

Are you trying to upload something from your comp to the server running PHP?
If so, it probably won't work.
What PHP does is function as a FTP client, so the server running PHP becomes the "local" machine.
It doesn't know anything about your local comp.

If you DO want to upload something with PHP, you're best off using a form, uploading the stuff to the server's /tmp dir, and using the FTP functions to make PHP connect to localhost, and put the file where it should be.

yes i'm trying to upload a file from my local machine to a remote server running PHP.

backward that script i used an html form
like this

 
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="do_upload.php">
<p><strong>File to transfer:</strong>
<input type="file" name="filez" size="30"></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload File"></p>
</form>

this should upload the file on the server in its local tmp dir...
(if a i use the copy function all work fine but i have the problem to grant the privileges for write to all in the dest dir, i'd like to overlap this trouble using ftp) do u have an example?
