Problem with FTP

[bugsuperstar37]

I have a form on a server that does not support FTP commands in PHP. I FTP the files on the server by using an fopen() to the server and doing an fwrite().

The problem is that all small .txt files work. Sometimes small .DOC files do not. All large .DOC files fail. There is no message on the FTP server and no errors thrown in PHP. Why is this happening? I cannot figure this one out.

Ermmm...
Why not let the form upload to the server for you...

<FORM ACTION="upload.php" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<b>File:</b><br>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="task" value="upload">
<INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="file">
<br>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="SUBMIT">
</FORM>

<?
$newFile = ($path . $file_name);

// attempt to create file... //
if (@copy($file, $newFile)) {
// do something here..
}
?>

I really cannot see what you are attempting to get at with this response. The form does upload the file to another server via FTP.

Is MAXFILESIZE is set in php.ini? This might limit the size of file that you can upload.

It is not that because in other forms I have written on the same server (but these files are not moved via FTP) they work just fine with all files. I have attempted to upload files that are over the size limit and the Apache server gives an error message.

I have troubleshooted by first copying the file from the tempoaray directory PHP and Apache upload the file to, to a permanent directory on the web server before moving it via FTP. The files are copied to the new directory and are complete (the right size and content), but the FTP fails on larger .DOC files. I just can't figure out why.
