[RESOLVED] FTP help

blckspder

Hello,
I have this generic FTP script that im trying use to upload files to our server... I can connect but it wont upload i get this error:

Warning: ftp_put(): Prohibited file name: English/SonoFlux_XL/ in /homedirs/sonotek/public_html/sono-tek.com/pdf_download/uploader.php on line 45
FTP upload has failed!

The path to where the file should be uploaded is specified by a form where the language and the product type of the file is decided. here is the code:

// 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); 

// 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";
   }

if(isset($_POST['upload'])) {

$language = $_POST['language'];
$category = $_POST['category'];
$product = $_POST['product'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$revcode = $_POST['revcode'];
$uploadedfile = $_POST['uploadedfile'];

$destination_file = $language . '/' . $product . '/';

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $uploadedfile, FTP_BINARY); 

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

}

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

and if i change this snippet of code:

$destination_file = $language . '/' . $product . '/';

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $uploadedfile, FTP_BINARY);

to:

$filename = basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$destination_file = $language . '/' . $product . '/' . $filename;


// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $uploadedfile, FTP_BINARY);

I get this error:
Warning: ftp_put(): Rename/move failure: No such file or directory in /homedirs/sonotek/public_html/sono-tek.com/pdf_download/uploader.php on line 45

Please let me know and thanks in advanced

Some one mentioned I might try the ftp_chdir(), does ne one think it would work? and if so how would i implement that?

I have tried an upload script with $_files but for some reason that didnt work either.

Do you use FTP elsewhere? It's the same thing. You can't FTP something into another dir. You ahve to be in the dir. ftp_chdir() into the destination, then ftp_put() the file. That will work, 100% guaranteed.

Thanks for the reply... I got the directory to change to what is specified when the form is submitted but i am still getting an error when I try to upload a file.

Warning: ftp_put(): Can't open that file: Is a directory in /homedirs/sonotek/public_html/sono-tek.com/pdf_download/uploader.php on line 56

here is my code now:

// 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); 

// 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<br />"; 
   } 

//display current directory
echo "Current directory: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "\n";

if(isset($_POST['upload'])) { 

$language = $_POST['language']; 
$category = $_POST['category']; 
$product = $_POST['product']; 
$description = $_POST['description']; 
$revcode = $_POST['revcode']; 
$uploadedfile = $_POST['uploadedfile']; 

//build the new directory path
$destination_file = '/public_html/sono-tek.com/pdf_download/' . $language . '/' . $product; 

// try to change the directory to somedir
	if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, $destination_file)) {
   		echo "Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "\n";
		$dir_changed = "true";
		} else { 
   			echo "Couldn't change directory\n";
			}

// upload the file 
	if($dir_changed == "true") {
		$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $uploadedfile, FTP_BINARY); 

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

You only want to use the filenames when uploading... not the paths as well.

$upload = ftp_put(/* Connection */, /* Destination File Name*/, /* Upload filename */, /* Tx Type */);
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $uploadedfile, FTP_BINARY);

SO get rid of the paths, and just use the filenames. You should be fine then.

oooh alright let me try that! Thanks!

Well i used basename to try and get the file name.. however, it doesnt seem as though it is pulling the file path out of the form. what could cause that? I have the enctype="multipart/form-data" , which i believed to be the correct setting.... Thanks for your help.

If they're uploading a file... it'd be in the $_FILES[] array 🙂

Im sorry I just dont know what I am doing wrong... I got something to upload but not the actual file.. it looks like it is taking $product, which is used to define the destination path and uploading that... thats if i use $_FILES['userfile']['name'].

if i use the code below i get the file name but nothing will upload

echo "Current directory: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "<br />";

if(isset($_POST['upload'])) { 

$language = $_POST['language']; 
$category = $_POST['category']; 
$product = $_POST['product']; 
$description = $_POST['description']; 
$revcode = $_POST['revcode']; 
//$uploadedfile = $_POST['uploadedfile']; 
$file = basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

echo "$file<br />";

//build the new directory path
$destination_file = '/public_html/sono-tek.com/pdf_download/' . $language . '/' . $product;
$newfile = $destination_file . '/' . $file;
echo "$newfile<br />";

$destfile = basename($newfile);

echo "$destfile<br />";

// try to change the directory to somedir
	if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, $destination_file)) {
   		echo "Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "<br />";
		$dir_changed = "true";
		} else { 
   			echo "Couldn't change directory\n";
			}

// upload the file 
	if($dir_changed == "true") {
		$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destfile, $file, FTP_BINARY); 

	// check upload status 
	if (!$upload) { 
   		echo "FTP upload has failed!"; 
		} else { 
	   		echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destfile<br />"; 
			 } 
}
}

If you could help me one more time to figure out what I am doing I will really appreciate it... I know Im so close.
