I have just got access to a new server, and am playing with

upload/download procedures. I

looked in the root directory, and see several objects which I assume to be

directories.

However I was surprised to find there does not appear to be any command to

determine if an

object is a file or directory, either in PHP FTP or plain FTP. I could

try to change to

them, or download them, but this seems overkill. Am I overlooking

something obvious?

That answer doesn't seem to quite come close even to answering the op question. Have you looked at ftp_rawlist which returns a detailed list of files, along with their permissions and directory flags? Or you could use ftp_size to determine the size of a file, which should be nothing for a directory.

Thanks, Yes; I found ftp_rawlist eventually, but I still haven't found a definition of the return code, though I think I know most of it. I guess that even a null file will hve some length? I will probably use the leading 'd' in the return code to test for directories.. (And I spent a long time trying to work out how 'drwxr-xr-x 2 riordan riordan 512 Jul 31 06:40 cgi-bin' could contain lots of spaces, before I remembered that, as a result of one of the weirder design decisions, HTML suppresses trailing spaces.) --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
