I have searched a lot for the answer and found some results but none of one is working for me. I want to transfer zip file from one server to another server using ftp functions. File went transferred but without data. Here is my code as follows:
<?php
$file = 'LICENSE.zip';
$fp = 'LICENSE.zip';
$ftp_server = "ftpserver name";
$ftp_user_name = "ftp username";
$ftp_user_pass = "ftp password";
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// login with username and password
// upload a file
ftp_chdir($conn_id,'/dev');
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $file, $fp, FTP_BINARY)) {
echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
fclose($fp);
?>
Even I am unable to transfer a simple .php or .txt file with their data. In this case only files without data is moving.

This is a very basic question since I do not properly understand the underlying concepts of the different protocols. Please be indulgent.
I can upload files to my site with FTP using Filezilla. Now I'm developing a user interface for sending data to update a database and files (photos) to be saved in a directory. I send this data with POST (see here). I get the file, but cannot save it to the destination directory performing
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['PhotoToUpload']['tmp_name'],"../../Photos/".$file_name);
I think is because of permissions (currently 755). Since I can currently upload with Filezilla FTP (so I understand I have the permissions to do that),
my question is:
Is bad practice (or conceptually wrong) to take the temp file created after the POST and load it with a FTP code like the following (taken from here)?
<?php
$ftp_server = "myftp.co.uk";
$ftp_user_name = "myusername";
$ftp_user_pass = "mypass";
$destination_file = "../../Photos/";
$source_file = $_FILES['PhotoToUpload']['tmp_name'];
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
echo "FTP connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
exit;
} else {
echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
}
// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
echo "FTP upload has failed!";
} else {
echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";
}
// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
Can you please assist me. I am trying to copy a file to the folder inside the application. The script is working on my local machine however when I run it on Cpanel server it shows an error "ftp_login() expects parameter 1 to be resource, Boolean given"
Here is the script which I tested
$folder_path = "192.xx.xx.xx\TMS";
$local_file = "CurrentFile\Inbound.xls";
$server_file = "CurrentFile\Inbound.xls";
//-- Connection Settings
$ftp_server = "192.xx.xx.xx"; // Address of FTP server.
$ftp_user_name = "FTP server username"; // Username
$ftp_user_pass = "FTP server Password"; // Password
$target = 'CurrentFile';
if (!file_exists($target))
{
die("Target directory doesn't exist.");
}
else if (!is_writable($target))
{
die("Insufficient privileges to write to the target directory!");
}
// 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 $server_file and save to $local_file
if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY))
{
echo "Successfully written to $local_file\n";
}
else
{
echo "There was a problem\n";
}
function fileExists($path)
{
return (#fopen($path,"r")==true);
}
ftp_close($conn_id);
I think the script is failing to connect to the FTP server.
If I add this just after I create the connection It returns "connection Failed".
if(!$conn_id) {
die("Connection failed!");
}
I am not used this but I have suggested go to this tutorial ftp_login expects parameter 1 to be a resource and let me know what happen to this
Is it possible for a cron job to copy a file from a remote server and move it to our server and over-right the file currently sitting there?
I have looked for an answer on here and not found a suitable solution as most are moving a file to and not from a remote server
there will be two sets of ftp details to include.
This is for a product feed and i really cant get my head around it.
Am i on the right line of thinking with this that i have adapted.
<?php
$file = 'remotefile.txt';
$remote_file = 'ourfile.txt';
$ftp_server ='example.com';
$ftp_user_name = 'username';
$ftp_user_pass = 'password';
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// upload a file
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_ASCII)) {
echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
Yes, it's possible.
Cronjobs are made to execute scripts periodically (every hours, every day, etc...).
So everything you can do with a script, you can do with cronjobs.
after playing around with the code i noticed i was using ftp_put and not ftp_get
here is the working code
<?php
$file = 'remotefile.txt';
$remote_file = 'ourfile.txt';
$ftp_server ='example.com';
$ftp_user_name = 'username';
$ftp_user_pass = 'password';
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// upload a file
if (ftp_get($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_ASCII)) {
echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
Here is the script that writes form data to txt file on same server (Linux). On every post it generates new file.
$myfile='/home/mysite/public_html/nar/fis_'.date('D_Mi').'_'.date('dmY_Hi').'.txt';
$fh=fopen($myfile,"w");
# Now UTF-8 - Add byte order mark
fwrite($fh, pack("CCC",0xef,0xbb,0xbf));
fwrite($fh,$upisufajl);
fclose($fh);
But now I need it to write on remote FTP server with username and password that is on Windows.
I have address: ftp://89.142.185.206/new_files/ and username and password.
What do I need to do? Examples would be appreciated.
Thanks guys
Since i assume that you have successfully written content to your text file, make use of this below script to login to FTP Server to upload your text file.
<?php
$ftp_server="";
$ftp_user_name="";
$ftp_user_pass="";
$file = "";//your textfile
$remote_file = "remfile.txt";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_ASCII)) {
echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
exit;
} else {
echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
exit;
}
ftp_close($conn_id);
I was working on with a FTP upload from my php page.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
flush();
$ftp_server = "myserver";
$ftp_user_name="myuser";
$ftp_user_pass="mypass";
$remote_file="myfile.txt";
$file="myfile.txt";
// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server");
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_ASCII)) {
echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
It gives me a Warning in browser like
Warning: ftp_put(): Access is denied. in /var/www/html/ftpcheck.php on line 17. There was a problem while uploading myfile.txt.
I checked the access permissions on the file. But its accessible. Can any one tell me why this happens?
Most probably this is a permission issue. When you are uploading a file via FTP, you also need to check the directory's permission. When you're saying it's accessible, it doesn't mean it's writable.
You don't check the result of the login operation:
if (ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass)) {
echo "Connected as $ftp_user_name#$ftp_server\n";
} else {
echo "Couldn't connect as $ftp_user_name\n";
}
You should also try a manual FTP operation from the PHP host to the FTP host to ensure that you can log-on with these credentials and put a file. This will help you establish whether it's your code at fault or the FTP credentials.
<?php
class Ftp {
function upload()
{
$ftp_server="50.56.113.39";
$ftp_user_name="******";
$ftp_user_pass="***";
$file = "form.pdf";//tobe uploaded
$remote_file = "uploads1/test.pdf";
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// upload a file
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_BINARY))
{
echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
//exit;
}
else
{
echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
//exit;
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
}
}
?>
