FTP transfers

rakennedy75

I am transferring a file to a ftp server through php using the following code...

$user = "username";
$pass = "password";
$ftp = "ftp.myFTPpath.com";
$file = 'file.txt';

// open some file for reading
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $user, $pass);

// try to upload $file
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $file, $file, FTP_ASCII))
{
	echo "Successfully uploaded $file\n";
} else {
	echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
}

The problem is that I want to put this in a specific folder on the ftp server. It works fine when dropping directly in the ftp but I need it to be moved in a folder in the ftp and in some cases I need to rename it as well. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

ok, sorry, I had some of my code messed up, I actually am using this instead....

if_(ftp_fput($conn_id,_$file,_$fp,_FTP_ASCII))

.. even though the previous code seems to work as well but i still need to move this into a folder on the ftp server.

ftp_chdir

Ok, thanks, that did the trick. There is one more thing I am trying to do. I would like to write a script that would batch upload a group of images I have located in a folder with the name of the image stored in a database. So here is what i was thinking... I would just pull the names from the data base and upload them using the ftp_fputs.

$query = ....
$result = ....
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
	$fp = fopen($file, 'r');
	$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp);

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $user, $pass);

if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, "newFolder")) {
} else { 
	echo "Couldn't change directory\n";
}

  if (ftp_fput($conn_id, $file, $fp, FTP_BINARY))
{
	echo "successfull";
}

ftp_close($conn_id);
fclose($fp);

}...

The only thing I see being a problem is the length of time it would take, since it actually has to open the file. These are images so the length would be increased quite a bit.

I am also using binary, since its a image, is this correct?

I hope what i am saying makes sense. Is there a better way to do this through php?
