#8187 [Opn->Csd]: Partial FTP Downloads

ID: 8187 Updated by: sesser@php.net Reported By: adam@nwmedia.com.au -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 4.0.3pl1 New Comment: This feature is already in PHP 4.3.0 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-15 09:02:24] djcricketSPAM@SPAMdjcricket.com I'd like to second this, but for an entirely different reason. It would be nice if the ftp_[fput/fget] functions took a 5th, length parameter, so developers could use it similarly to fread/fwrite. This would facilitate the ability to output the progress of the upload/download, because currently, there appears to be no way to let users know that script is actually downloading something. Developers can mearly output something like 'File downloading, please wait...' and hope the user is patient when downloading larger files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-12-09 22:52:00] adam@nwmedia.com.au Just a short simple feature request: I'd really love the ability to be able to do partial FTP downloads. At the moment the ftp_get() functions download the entire file. It'd be nice to have an optional parameter with how many bytes to download. The reason I ask is that it would be infinitely useful for my FTP search engine. Being able to partial download (say 1000 bytes) lets me know whether a particular FTP site has a ratio or some sort of download restrictions. Thanks in advance. -Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=8187&edit=1
