Uploading via FTP using PHP - php

Question

I have written a script to upload files from my computer to a external server. However I get the following error message:
Warning: ftp_put(): Filename invalid
I have tried changing the filename and etc but have had no luck.
Here is my code:
$ftp_server = "ipaddress";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$destination_file = 'C:\ftp_root\borna\ttt.txt';
$source_file = 'C:\inetpub\ftp_test.txt';
// setup basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// check connection
if(!$conn_id){
print "FTP connection has failed.<br>";
}else{
print "FTP connection successfull.<br>";
}
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $username, $password);
// check login
if(!login_result){
print "FTP login credentials not recognised.<br>";
}else{
print "FTP login credentials recognised.<br>";
}
// upload our file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
// read upload status
if(!$upload){
print "FTP upload has failed.<br>";
}else{
print "FTP upload was successfull on file $source_file to $destination_file via $ftp_server.<br>";
}
// close the ftp stream
ftp_close($conn_id);

I'd say the error is correct:
$destination_file = "C:\ftp_root\borna\ttt.txt";
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
You're feeding it with a local path as target path (see the C: bit).
If unsure about what server paths will look like, just open the site with a regular FTP client.
If you don't have an FTP client you can download a free one called FileZilla. Install it, launch it, and type your FTP credentials (the piece of data you have in $ftp_server, $username and $password variables) in the top bar. Once you've established a connection you'll see remote paths in the Remote Site box.
