Ho to use ftp_put for file upload in PHP? - php

Question

I try to upload a file using ftp_put after submitting a form. However my code does not work as expected:
$ftpHost = '192.168.180.36';
$ftpUsername = 'userdownload';
$ftpPassword = 'Toms!';
$filepath = "C://xampp/htdocs/Helpdesk/fmt/download";
$connId = ftp_connect($ftpHost,21) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftpHost");
$ftpLogin = ftp_login($connId, $ftpUsername, $ftpPassword);
$file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'][$i];
$tmp_name = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$i];
// try to upload file
if(ftp_put($connId, $file_name, $filepath.'/'.$file_name, FTP_BINARY)){
echo "File transfer successful - $file_name";
}else{
echo "There was an error while uploading $file_name";
}
And I get this error message:
There was an error while uploading $file_name

There are two thing i noticed in your code. the first one is the mode of transfer depends upon your file type.Files that are in the ascii/text file extension list are transferred as ascii, all other files are transferred as binary.The second one is may be there is a problem in your file which you received may be it is black first check that. You can try this code it is working for me.
<?php
// connect and login to FTP server
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);
$file = "localfile.txt";
// upload file
if (ftp_put($ftp_conn, "serverfile.txt", $file, FTP_ASCII))
{
echo "Successfully uploaded $file.";
}
else
{
echo "Error uploading $file.";
}
// close connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);
?>
