FTP permission denied using php script - php

Question

I have a problem with my ftp account. Here is the code I have written to connect to my FTP and create a folder:
<?php
$ftp_server = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$ftp_username = 'xxxxxxxx';
$ftp_password = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_password);
// try to create directory $path
$path = '/2/7/7';
if(ftp_mkdir($ftp_conn, $path)) {
echo 'done';
die();
}
echo 'error';
?>
I get the following error when I run the code:
Warning: ftp_mkdir(): Permission denied
When I use filezilla or another ftp manager application I can create a folder easily but the problem occurs while using a script to handle it. I told to my network administrator to make sure if the account has read and write permissions. They say that read and write permissions have been already set. I guess that it probably needs execute permission as well which might not be set.
Is there any way to check the permission using php script? I also tried to check the folder permission using filezilla but it shows something like this:

Answer 1

try this solution it works recursive-ftp-make-directory
// recursive make directory function for ftp
function make_directory($ftp_stream, $dir)
{
// if directory already exists or can be immediately created return true
if (ftp_is_dir($ftp_stream, $dir) || #ftp_mkdir($ftp_stream, $dir)) return true;
// otherwise recursively try to make the directory
if (!make_directory($ftp_stream, dirname($dir))) return false;
// final step to create the directory
return ftp_mkdir($ftp_stream, $dir);
}
function ftp_is_dir($ftp_stream, $dir)
{
// get current directory
$original_directory = ftp_pwd($ftp_stream);
// test if you can change directory to $dir
// suppress errors in case $dir is not a file or not a directory
if ( #ftp_chdir( $ftp_stream, $dir ) ) {
// If it is a directory, then change the directory back to the original directory
ftp_chdir( $ftp_stream, $original_directory );
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
don't forget to add $dir='2/3/4/5/6' for new recursively directory!
