Upload file from local to SFTP via PHP SSH2 - php

Question

I am trying to upload a local file from my Mac to SFTP via PHP. My code:
$connection = ssh2_connect($server, $port);
if (ssh2_auth_password($connection, $username, $passwd)) {
$sftp = ssh2_sftp($connection);
echo "Connection successful, uploading file now..."."\n";
$file = '/Users/petenaylor/Desktop/diamondexclusive.mp4';
$contents = file_get_contents($file);
file_put_contents("ssh2.sftp://{$sftp}/{$file}", $contents);
}
else {
echo "Unable to authenticate with server"."n";
}
It connects as it should and I have checked that the local file location is correct, but the error messages I get are:
Warning: file_get_contents(/Users/petenaylor/Desktop/diamondexclusive.mp4): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/test.php on line 39
Warning: file_put_contents(): Unable to open ssh2.sftp://Resource id #3//Users/petenaylor/Desktop/diamondexclusive.mp4 on remote host in /home/test.php on line 40
Warning: file_put_contents(ssh2.sftp://Resource id #3//Users/petenaylor/Desktop/diamondexclusive.mp4): failed to open stream: operation failed in /home/test.php on line 40
My log file from Filezilla:

Answer 1

In FileZilla, you upload a file under a name diamondexclusive.mp4 to the current remote working directory, which is /home/myfarewellnote/web.
Hence the full target path is /home/myfarewellnote/web/diamondexclusive.mp4.
While in PHP you upload the file to /Users/petenaylor/Desktop/diamondexclusive.mp4 (what is actually a local source path, that has nothing to do with the server).
Use the same path that you upload the file to in FileZilla:
file_put_contents("ssh2.sftp://{$sftp}/home/myfarewellnote/web/diamondexclusive.mp4", $contents);
