Trying to make FTP connect script...

[Oni]

Hi--

I went into the process of trying to make a ftp connecting script (part of a main project to index the files on ftp servers) because the FTP function didn't seem to work well.

I also installed php5 on my laptop to try a new function (forgot what it was now) but that gave me problems as well...

So... In the below script you can see that I'm trying to login to a ftp server(using sockets):

<?

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,SOL_TCP); 
$connection = socket_connect($socket,'localhost',21); 


while($new = socket_read($socket,5024)) 
{

print $data;


flush();
ob_flush();


$data = "$data"  .  "$new";
if (substr_count($data, '220') > 0) { //If username is asked
				socket_write($socket,"USER anonymous");
				print "USER anonymous";
				flush();
ob_flush();
}

if (substr_count($data, '331') > 0) { //If pass is asked
				socket_write($socket,"PASS anonymous");
}

if (substr_count($data, '230') > 0) { /When login complete
				socket_write($socket,"LIST"); //Ask for dir listing
}




} 

?>

But, I only see the first server reply (code 220), then the script just times out...

But why? 🙁
