How to upload file to FTP server in PHP - php

My Code is to Upload file to FTP
$conn_id = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server, 4480);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, "serverfile.txt", $file, FTP_BINARY);
Its giving this error
PHP Warning: ftp_nb_put(): php_connect_nonb() failed: Operation now in progress (115) in /home/nanobi/PHP/ftp.php on line 51
PHP Warning: ftp_nb_put(): Type set to I in /home/nanobi/PHP/ftp.php
Please help me to solve this

I think you might be experiencing Bug #55651: Option to force PHP to ignore the PASV address returned. There's an issue when an FTP server behind a NAT device returns its local address in response to the PASV command. There's been a patch submitted for this issue years ago, but it hasn't made it into the source yet.
If your FTP server is behind a NAT device, try another FTP client for PHP and see if the issue persists.

Cannot connect to external FTPS server with php

I need to extract data from a .gz file which is located on an ftp server. The FTP server works with IP white listing, so I submitted my local IP and my website IP (i used gethostbynameto get the IP) which were both approved.
Locally, I can run this code to reach the file:
$url="ftp://username:password#host/targetfile.gz";
$xml = simplexml_load_file("compress.zlib://$url") or die ("Cannot load file");
This runs perfectly fine and it allows me to extract data from the XML file.
When I run the script on my server however, i'm not getting a connection. I contacted the admin running the ftp server and they told me they only allow FTPS connections.
So, I proceeded with the following code to try and establish a connection:
$conn_id = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass);
if (!$login_result) {
die("Cannot login.");
}
echo ftp_pwd($conn_id); // /
// close the ssl connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
This also doesn't connect. I'm new to FTP connections with PHP and FTP in general and i've got no clue on how to proceed from this point.
OpenSSL is enabled.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Edit: These are the error messages:
When I use the top block of code, this occurs:
Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external
entity
"compress.zlib://username:password#ftp.thehost.com/targetfile.gz"; in
/path/to/my/website/folder/htdocs/mydomain.com/feeds/script.php on
line 13
When I use the bottom block of code, I get this error:
Warning: ftp_login() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given
in /path/to/my/website/folder/htdocs/mydomain.com/feeds/script.php on
line 16 Cannot login.
I do not have access to the log file afaik
I do not think there's much we can help you here.
You do not have a network connectivity between the web server and FTP server.
Note that it does not have to be because the web server has not been white-listed on the FTP server. It's also possible that the web server does not allow outgoing connections.

Failed to open stream: FTP server reports STOR FTP wrapper

copy(ftp://...#video.calkinsftp.com/videodrive/video_input/Philly/Council Rock South High Schoolers hold mock presidential debate.mp4): failed to open stream: FTP server reports STOR, file: /var/www/html/user-controller.php, line: 138
The file transfers successfully my own network. But it does not work on clients network.
The error message is nonsense, clearly a bug in PHP code.
I have reported this:
Bug #73457 Wrong error message when fopen FTP wrapped fails to open data connection.
Anyway, the root cause is most probably that an FTP data connection cannot be opened.
Most typical cause of the problem is that PHP defaults to the active mode. And in 99% cases, one has to switch to the passive mode, to make the transfer working. Use the ftp_pasv function.
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// turn passive mode on
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);

Please check FTP user authentication and user permission, and check allow particular user uploading file size and your network configuration(NAT/firewall).

ftp_get: Illegal PORT command

On 'localhost' I tried to get a file from FTP server and the local file is successfully created. But when I'm trying in Ubuntu server it's displaying there was a problem and file is not downloading into server. Here is the code. And code file created in this location /var/www/html/
<?php
$local_file = 'whdfcleads.csv';
$server_file = 'hdfc/hdfc_leads.csv';
$ftp_server="*********";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server)or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server");
$ftp_user_name="*****";
$ftp_user_pass="******";
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) {
echo "Successfully written to $local_file\n";
}
else{
echo "There was a problem\n";
}
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
Please help me to solve this issue, in local host it's working fine but in Ubuntu server local file not creating/downloading.
The error is
Array (
[type] => 2
[message] => ftp_get(): Illegal PORT command
[file] => /var/www/html/wftp.php
[line] => 15
)
The "Illegal PORT command" is a message issued by ProFTPD server, when it receives PORT command with an invalid IP address.
What typically happens, when the client is behind a NAT and reports its internal IP address to the server, not knowing the server is not able to reach back to that IP address.
The easiest (and generally correct) solution is to use an FTP passive mode, instead of an active mode (the default in PHP).
In PHP, you switch to the passive mode by calling the ftp_pasv function after the ftp_login:
...
ftp_login($conn_id, $usr, $pwd) or die("Cannot login");
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true) or die("Cannot switch to passive mode");
...
See my article on FTP connection modes to understand, what the active and passive mode means, and why everyone uses the passive mode nowadays.

PHP Script Won't Upload to FTP Server -

Having spent hours on this, I am out of luck. This script worked perfectly until yesterday. The script generates XML and dumps it as a file (5kb) to a remote FTP server. The script has not changed, nor has our host changed anything. The FTP server company has changed something (they said IP change yesterday) (but claims nothing apart from this). This IP resulted in a different ftp_server which has worked fine.
When I attempt to run the script, I get the following error regardless of whether "ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);" is there or not / disabled:
Warning: ftp_fput() [function.ftp-fput]: Opening ASCII mode data connection in ...
Then it gives the line which contains "FTP_ASCII" below.
When I have the ft_pasv section there only (as per original script), an additional error of the following still appears with the following:
Warning: ftp_fput() [function.ftp-fput]: data_accept: SSL/TLS handshake failed in ...
This is for the same line as the above error.
They were originally on a self-signed SSL. Now, due to my issue, they are now on a 'correct' SSL issued by a well known company. No errors display on Filezilla upon connecting.
Importantly, I can upload via Filezilla with no issues, with or without passive mode
Code above the below code in the script is correct for generating the file as it appears on the script page, once loaded. It just won't dump the file on the server. Here is the connecting to the server bit:
//Connect to the FTP server
$ftp_server = 'import.ftpserverdomain.com';
$ftp_user_name = 'CORRECT-USERNAME';
$ftp_user_pass = 'CORRECT-PASSWORD';
// set up basic ssl connection
$conn_id = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server) or die("CONNECTION ERROR");
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass) or die("LOGIN ERROR");
$directory = ftp_pwd($conn_id); // /
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
fputs($fp,$file_contents);
fclose($fp);
$fp = fopen($filename, 'r');
$path_with_file = $directory.$filename;
if (ftp_fput($conn_id, $path_with_file, $fp, FTP_ASCII)) {
echo "Successfully Uploaded $File\n";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while uploading $File\n";
}
fclose($fp);
unlink($filename);
ftp_close($conn_id);
Any help is much appreciated. Sorry if I lacked any information. I'll be happy to provide any.
It sounds to me like PHP can't find your CA Certs, if you are running this on a linux box, this is something I have encountered before. Some searching should help but basically PHP's OpenSSL integration needs pointing at your cacerts directory so it can use these to validate the SSL connection it is attempting to make.
I fixed this issue. Hopefully this helps someone. The issue turned out to be server (HostGator). They do not allow FTP over TLS on a shared account.
Despite this working for a year, switching hosts resolved the issue.

PHP ftp_put warning Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: Type set to I. in

When i try to upload files using PHP's ftp_put function, earlier it was erroring:
Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: No data connection
Now, i tried to put passive mode on:
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
then comes error:
Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: Type set to I. in
ftp_login is done properly and it says Successfully.
Now it gives new warning: Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: abc.txt: Cannot open or remove a file containing a running program.
Any ideas, why file not tranferring ?
Thanks !
Here is my code snippet:
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server");
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass) or die("You do not have access to this ftp server!");
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
// wont ever hit this, b/c of the die call on ftp_login
echo "<span style='color:#FF0000'><h2>FTP connection has failed! <br />";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name</h2></span>";
exit;
} else {
//echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name <br />";
}
//turn passive mode on
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file.$name, $filename, FTP_BINARY);
if (!$upload) {
echo "<span style='color:#FF0000'><h2>FTP upload of $filename has failed!</h2></span> <br />";
} else {
echo 'Uploaded';
}
ftp_close($conn_id);
http://php.net/ftp_pasv
$resource = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
ftp_login($resource, 'username', 'password');
# set this to true
ftp_pasv($resource, true);
ftp_get(...);
ftp_put(...);
I was recieving same (not very descriptive) error message E_WARNING ftp_get(): Type set to I..
I found out that it is because server running PHP did not have visible public IP (it is virtual server on my workstation).
Solution was using passive mode. Default setting (active mode) did not have problem on live server, because live server has visible public IP.
The last error you are seeing happens when the FTP daemon is stuck with the uploaded file open and waiting for you to write to it.
Anytime you successfully open a connection over an FTP server, be prepared to close the connection with the following function when the process completes or terminates due to any errors.
ftp_close($conn_id);
It's possible your script is leaving its connections open and the FTP server is getting confused by this. Try adding ftp_close in the appropriate places and see if the script runs more smoothly.
I've tried using the ftp functions in PHP and found it was much easier to use file_put_contents() like the following:
$remote_file = "ftp://username:password#host.com/path/to/file.txt";
file_put_contents($remote_file, $file_contents);
You can still check if it was successful and all that good stuff of course too.
Your ftp setup looks ok, try putting the filename $destination_file.$name in a single variable, dump the variable and make sure this file exists with absolute path if it is not in the same folder as your script. That is the only detail I saw in a quick glance, that could choke your upload.
Make sure your file is not opened in an editor! And if the file is .txt you can use FTP_ASCII although being in binary should not cause a problem.
Good-luck!
I found its solution as below:
I just talked to EUKHOST server support
Main point in this was that the support person now opened a passive port range for FTP on server, and he told us to try the FTP upload now. If you could try it with some testfile and it went through successfully..
Add following lines at the end of
open /etc/vsftpd.conf and add
pasv_promiscuous=YES___ at the end.
In my case, the issue triggering this error was that the file I was trying to upload was too large for the recieving server's configuration.
