how to get file from ftp server and copy on own server - php

Question

I want to get file from client server and copy them on my server , I have successfully connected to client server, my code is below.
// connect and login to FTP server
$ftp_server = "xx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
$ftp_username = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$ftp_userpass = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($login);
echo "</pre>";
// get the file list for /
$filelist = ftp_rawlist($ftp_conn, "/");
// close connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($filelist);
echo "</pre>";
// output $filelist
var_dump($filelist);
May anyone please advise how can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You can use the ftp_fget function specified here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-fget.php
(ftp_fget() retrieves remote_file from the FTP server, and writes it to the given file pointer.)
Here an example provided by the documentation:
<?php
// path to remote file
$remote_file = 'somefile.txt';
$local_file = 'localfile.txt';
// open some file to write to
$handle = fopen($local_file, 'w');
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// try to download $remote_file and save it to $handle
if (ftp_fget($conn_id, $handle, $remote_file, FTP_ASCII, 0)) {
echo "successfully written to $local_file\n";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while downloading $remote_file to $local_file\n";
}
// close the connection and the file handler
ftp_close($conn_id);
fclose($handle);
?>

This is how I resolved this now all files will copy on your server. use ftp_ssl_connect if its secure
$ftp_server = "xx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
$ftp_username = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$ftp_userpass = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$ftp_conn = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);
ftp_pasv($ftp_conn,pasv);
$output_directory="files1/ftpgetfiles/137/";
// get the file list for /
$filelist = ftp_nlist($ftp_conn, "/");
foreach ($filelist as $key => $value) {
$fp = fopen($output_directory.$value,"w");
if(ftp_fget($ftp_conn, $fp, $value, FTP_BINARY))
{
fclose($fp);
}
}
ftp_close($ftp_conn);
