ftp file path 1

[joeschoe]

In PHP I am using ftp to copy files. I am having trouble with the ftp_put() command. I keep on getting "/public_html/papa/v227: No such file or directory".
Here is the code I use

$source_file = "/home/joeschmoe/public_html/vbbu/v226";
$filename=$source_file;
if (file_exists($filename)) {
    print "The file $filename exists";
} else {
    print "The file $filename does not exist<br>";
}
$destination_file = "/public_html/papa/v227";
$download = ftp_put($conn_id, "$destination_file", "$source_file", FTP_BINARY);

I have tried many variations of the destination file path.
The directory public_html/papa does exist with no access restrictions and the source file gives a positive "file exists".
I feel that there is something wrong with the way I specify the file path for ftp.

It appears most likely that you should use the full path from the file system root for the destination file.
You correctly use /home/joeschmo/public_html/vbbu/v226
So you should also use /home/whateveruser/public_html/ in the destination.

Are you copying on the same server?

I believe your only problem is the full file path. Otherwise, check the permissions on the folder.

Is there any way that joeschmoe is joeshome!!!

The problem lay in the file permissions in the directories.
I had updated them but it took a while for the system to implement the changes.
