Bug #14748 Updated: ftp_put problems

ID: 14748 Updated by: kchapdelaine@cox.net Reported By: blaloggia@cwplus.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: FTP related Operating System: Unix PHP Version: 4.0.5 New Comment: The ftp site is on a Unix server. The php file is on a Unix/Apache web server (actually, the same unix server). The file we are attempting to upload is from the directory of the person connecting to the server, i.e., usually Windows. This is still in the testing phase. Ftp is properly enabled. The server says so. I had him add code for it to show the phpinfo. What is the proper syntax for the file on the user computer? Or is this improper usage of the program? i.e., do we use: c:\\ftptesting\\test1.csv or c:\ftptesting\test1.csv or c:\ftptesting\\test1.csv or something else entirely? Or is there a flag we need to set to do this? Yes, I am working with Bob on this. Thank you, Karen Chapdelaine kchapdelaine@cox.net Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-04 18:35:51] fred010101@hotmail.com I have the same problem. The client on windows. The server on unix. $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); ftp_put($conn_id, "./download", "D:\essai.map", FTP_BINARY); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-04 11:51:26] blaloggia@cwplus.com Yes, I still have this problem. As a matter of fact, I have the same problem when I use ftp_get. It won't recognize my local drive. It thinks the directory path is part of the file name (i.e. local path is "c:\\ftptesting\\testfile.csv". It thinks the file name is "c"\\ftptesting\\testfile.csv"). My local machine is a Windows 2000 box and the ftp server is a Unix box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-26 18:40:16] vlad@php.net How can you have OS: "Unix" and a C: drive? That strikes me as odd. The example you showed works for me on a windows box with either forward slash or backslash if you get rid of the extra closing ')' in the last line. Do you still have this problem with php 4.1.2? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-28 17:21:25] blaloggia@cwplus.com Okay, I've scoured the bug reports and the message lists and I'm not convinced that it's even possible to upload from a local file to an ftp server using ftp_put. No one seems to have a good answer to the multiple listings of people having this problem. I don't believe my problem is a security problem. My problem is that PHP wants to use the directory that my PHP program is in as the default directory for uploading. ftp_put won't recognize my C: drive as a local drive. Here is the gist of the code that doesn't seem to be working: $host = "ftp.cwplus.com"; $user = "username"; $password = "password"; $remotefile = "/www/cwplus/wendy/images/$filename"; $conn = ftp_connect("$host"); ftp_login($conn, $user, $password); ftp_put($conn, $remotefile, "C:/test.txt", FTP_BINARY)) I've done all kinds of slash manipulation for the local file and none seem to help. Thanks, Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14748&edit=1
