Re: ftp_get and file downloads

Then I don't understand the warning message: Connected to ftp. ... .org, for user ... Warning: ftp_get(): error opening /home/john/download/test.txt in /home/.../www/code/backup.phtml on line 26 Ftp transfer has failed! I have tried many variations of $local_file for both my winxp and linux computers. I set the local folder "/home/john/download/" on linux to 777. -------------------------------------- <?php $ftp_server = "ftp....org"; $user = "..."; $password = "..."; $conn_id = ftp_connect("$ftp_server"); $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "$user", "$password"); if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {

    echo "Ftp connection has failed!";
    echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $user";
    die;

} else {

    echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $user";

} $local_file = "/home/john/download/test.txt"; $server_file = "/www/test.txt"; $transfer = ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_ASCII); if (!$transfer) {

    echo "Ftp transfer has failed!";

} else {

    echo "Downloaded $server_file on $ftp_server as $local_file";

} ftp_quit($conn_id); ?> Ideas? Thanks. On 5/5/2003 3:55 PM, Tyler Longren wrote:

I don't think local is on A. It's on computer B. local refers to the name you want the remote file to be named on your computer B. Example: you want to transfer foo.txt from A to B. You'd do this: ftp_get($conn, "foo.txt.downloaded", "foo.txt", FTP_ASCII); So, it will download foo.txt and save it to computer B with the "foo.txt.downloaded" filename. Hope that helps, Tyler Longren
