PHP FTP : Access Denied - php

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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);
}
}
?>
