ftp file to directory

[Brusca]

Hi,
I managed to get this working from the manual. But it is uploading a local file to the same file name on a remote directory.

How do I code it to upload the local file to a remote directory???

<?php

$host="www.hostname.com";
$user="username";
$password="password";
$conn_id = ftp_connect( $host, 21 );
// set up basic connection


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

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
       echo "FTP connection has failed!";
       echo "Attempted to connect to $host for user $user";
       exit;
   } else {
       echo "Connected to $host, for user $user";
   }
$source_file = "images/delete.gif";
$destination_file="mainwebsite_html/images/delete.gif"; // I just want to upload to the images directory and not the file itself. when I change it to just the directory it errors out
// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);

// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
       echo "FTP upload has failed!";
   } else {
       echo "Uploaded $source_file to $host as $destination_file";
   }

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

When you actually FTP in what is the folder structure like. When I did my photoarchive I had to use a unix type structure for my dir so $destfile would look something like this.

$DestFile = "/web/images/";

When I FTP into my server I get the root contents plus the web folder and then the images folder is inside of that. I think you can use

echo is_dir($DestFile);

I think this will echo a true / false result.

Hope this helps,

Yeah it has no problem with finding the directories and the files. It just errors out when I change the destination to a directory and not a file.

error

Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: destination directory/: Not a regular file in /ftp.php on line 52
FTP upload has failed!

Here is another example. It is exactly what I want but what I do not understand is where in this code do you tell the file to upload to (remote directory)???. Is there an element in the $conn_id where you can specify the directory after the ftp address??

<?php

// open some file for reading
$file = 'somefile.txt';
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

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

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

// close the connection and the file handler
ftp_close($conn_id);
fclose($fp);

?>

Most examples are file to file.

$file = 'somefile.txt';
$remote_file = 'readme.txt';

I want to be able to go file to directory.
