FTP Uploading

[Quijian]

I am trying to upload files onto my ftp server but I don't have a clue as to what is wrong with my code.

<?php
$path="C:\Documents and Settings\Blah Blah\My Documents\files\txt\LI.txt";
$remote="1.txt";
$ftp_server='ftp.example.com';//address for the ftp server
$ftp_user='screenname@example.com';
$ftp_pass='secret';
$connect_id=ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to ftp server.");
if(ftp_login($connect_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass)){
	if(ftp_put($connect_id, $remote, $path, FTP_ASCII)){}
	else{
	echo "Upload not successful <br>";
	echo $path."<br>";
	echo $remote;
	}
}
else{
echo "Login not successful";
}	
?>

The path is exactly the way it should be and the remote path is fine too.

Thanks in all your help.

Two things jump out at me.

PHP uses backslashes as an escape character. So this line:

$path="C:\Documents and Settings\Blah Blah\My Documents\files\txt\LI.txt";

is being interpreted as "C:[escape D]ocuments and settings[escape B]......."

Since PHP doesn't interpolate string literals inside singlequotes, try the line as:

$path='C:\Documents and Settings\Blah Blah\My Documents\files\txt\LI.txt';

The other thing is that I don't know whether PHP will react well to the spaces in the path. You might have to use the short directory names (available doing "dir /x" at a command prompt).
