Re: sending data through FTP in PHP

I'm given the IP and port to connect to. I will then send my username and password in this format: username|version\n password\ the version number is just 4 characters of the program eg. "1.00" I must then wait for a byte: '0' - valid '1' - invalid then I am to send the data as eg. L3200150.00 They should have another program on their end that will slurp up the data and do whatever with it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <colbey@dreamwerx.net> To: "OpenSource" <redhat@opensource.bz> Cc: "PHP-DB" <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 12:47 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] sending data through FTP in PHP > > FTP is used to tranfer files, typically not "an array of data"..
