Bug #16058 Updated: ftp_get() try to create temp file in the c:\

ID: 16058 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: alexf@spiralsolutions.com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: FTP related Operating System: Win2K PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Just use ftp_fget() as you can give it a filepointer you have opened wherever you wish: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-fget.php (and regarding tmpfile(), it should store the temporary file in whatever your TEMP is set to?) Not really any bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-14 03:18:57] alexf@spiralsolutions.com OS - Win2K, IIS, PHP. If i use NTFS on my C drive under Win2K, and try to get file over ftp using ftp_get(), ftp_get() fails. The problem is in C code in php_ftp.c: C function tmpfile(), that used for creation of temporary files, try to create this file on C:\ (in the root directory, according to C docs): ================ Source code from php_ftp.c =============== /* get to temporary file, so if there is an error, no existing file gets clobbered */ if ((tmpfp = tmpfile()) == NULL) { php_error(E_WARNING, "error opening tmpfile"); RETURN_FALSE; } =========================================================== But, for security reasons, root directory can't be writable by Anonymous user, so ftp_get() fails. ftp_get() work only if we have c:\ world writable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16058&edit=1
