In response to the first message, that's not wholly true. The file will be saved to whatever directory you speficy with the ftp_get function for the local file argument. If you just supply a filename, then yes, it will copy to the current folder. Personally, I generate a folder variable beforehand like: $destdir = "/var/www/html/storage/"; $file = "hello.txt"; ftp_get($ftplink, $destdir.$file, $file, FTP_ASCII); A large part of why I do this is because the stuff I am working with is a large list of files coming from a text file, then it gets dumped into destdir depending on certain variables that come up during the process. So, don't get the idea that you have to chdir to put ftp_get a file somewhere other than cwd. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-get.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33243 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33243&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33243&report=yes
