Note Submitter: alex at tns dot ch ---- I am having trouble using the PHP FTP GET and PUT functions between client and server (I need to regularly update files on my website via PHP). I followed some examples and managed to get listings of files on my server but when I tried to GET a file from the server down to my client the file did not arrive even though the GET function's result status indicated success. I added some code to dump the file immediately after the test for a successful GET and the file contents were displayed but searching with windows explorer did not reveal the file! My local system device is J: and I am telling the GET PHP function to place the file in the root of J: What am I doing wrong? As PHP is server based does a GET mean a GET from the server's viewpoint or, as I have assumed, from the client's viewpoint? Thanks for any help, Alex
