Bug #16455 Updated: "Progress Indicator" of some sort in ftp get

ID: 16455 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: epicanis+php@dogphilosophy.net -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.2 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: wez New Comment: I aim to provide a means for PHP scripts to check up on the things that you mentioned for the ftp wrapper (rather than ftp_get) as part of the streams "refit" for PHP 4.3 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-05 12:54:10] epicanis+php@dogphilosophy.net On long ftp downloads, there appears to be no way to get any sort of "progress" indication. (I prefer to use the ftp module rather than the ftp: wrapper for fgets for the application in question, so that I can more easily track success at connecting, success at logging in, checking of ftp directory contents, etc). This isn't much of an issue on a web-page, where ftp download shouldn't take long, but when used as a CLI application (as I am currently) to handle a long download, it's hard to tell whether or not the download is going successfully, or not. (For simplicity, having output on stderr from the ftp_get function as an option would probably be quite sufficient...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16455&edit=1
