copy all files from an ftp folder

rowantrimmer

Hello,

I have written a piece of code in php that pulls files back from an ftp site.

I want to go to a directory on the ftp site and copy all of the .jpgs to my local drive.

I have the following line of code which works fine if I specify the unique file name but does not if I specify wildcards. Could anyone help me please ?????

CODE

$download = ftp_get($conn_id, ".", $destination_folder."images/.", FTP_BINARY);

Many thanks in advance

Maybe a better way would be to use "ftp_nlist()" to put all the file names into an array, then loop through the array checking for ".jpg" extensions, downloading those files.

Your code doesn't work probably because "ftp_get()" downloads a file.

Is there any chance that you could show me what the code would like ?

if ($ftp = ftp_connect($server)) {
    echo 'connected<br />';
} else {
    echo 'not connected<br />';
    exit;
}
if ($login = ftp_login($server, $user, $password)) {
    echo 'logged in<br />';
} else {
    echo 'not logged in';
    exit;
)
if ($dir_array = nlist($ftp, '.')) {
    echo 'listed<br />';
} else {
    echo 'not listed<br />';
    exit;
}
foreach ($dir_array as $value) {
    if (substr($value, -4) == '.jpg') {
        if (ftp_get($ftp, $value, $value, FTP_BINARY)) (
            echo $value . 'downloaded<br />';
        } else {
            echo $value . 'not downloaded<br />';
        }
    }
}
if ($ftp_close = ftp_close($server)) {
    echo 'closed<br />';
} else {
    echo 'not closed<br />';
