Upload file with ftp instead of http..

mrdance · Jul 5, 2001

I am using this script for ftp upload. It seems that the ftp connection is working the only problem that is left is that it doesn't find the file. I get the error: Warning: fopen("C:\\a.txt","r&quot

- No such file or directory in C:\web\neteject\pictureuploader\ftp.php on line 31

I thought that I could use the "browse". A strange thing is that it doesn't find the file when I hardcode it neither.

$fp=fopen("$UploadedFile", "r&quot

;
ftp_fput($ftp,"$UploadedFile", $fp, FTP_ASCII);
fclose($fp);
ftp_quit($ftp);

<FORM METHOD=post ACTION=ftp.php>
<input CLASS=xxblabgre3t type="file" size=40 name="UploadedFile">
<input CLASS=xxblabgre3 type=submit name=upload value="UPLOAD FILE">
</FORM>

Any help would be appreciated!

Try this code from the PHP manual. Since PHP has FTP functions built in, I think that you will find them much better to use:

[tt]
<?php
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect("$ftp_server&quot

;

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "$ftp_user_name", "$ftp_user_pass&quot

;

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
echo "Ftp connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $user";
die;
} else {
echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $user";
}

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, "$destination_file", "$source_file", FTP_BINARY);

// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
echo "Ftp upload has failed!";
} else {
echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";
}

// close the FTP stream
ftp_quit($conn_id);
?>

[/tt]

Also, in your form tag, you must have the following code:

[tt]
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" so it looks like:
<form action="ftp.php" method="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
[/tt]

Hope this helps.

Thank you, but why should I put ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" in the form? I understand it when I use a HTTP upload when the upload actually is connected to the form. In ftp-mode I only use the type=file of the inputbox to get a browser window which results in a filename which I can use later, not in the actual post. Am I wrong?

I believe, and I am not 100% sure on this, that you put the ENCTYPE="multitype/form-data" to be able to upload binary files (such as images).

Thats just what I have heard. And I have always been told to add that when making an upload script.

Sorry I could not of been of more help.

Here is a simple script which will allow you to utilize ftp instead of http for file uploads. it will also allow you to upload files to specific directories (don't forget to set permissions correctly on dirs/files).

If you look closely at the script, you will notice that there is no enctype="multitype/form-data" required.

<?php

// quick "die" function
function funk_die($msg) {
if($msg=='normal') {
return "<html><body><a href=\"ftp.php\">back</a></body></html>";

function dir_funk () {

// cookie?
global $ftp;

// dir name
$dir=ftp_pwd($ftp);

// dir listing array
$dirlist=ftp_rawlist($ftp,$dir);

// print the directory listing
$funk = "<html><body><p>current directory: <b> $dir </b></p>";
$funk .= "<p><a href=\"ftp.php?&updir=$dir\">go up one level</a>

Thanks, but I have errors when trying to upload a file;

Warning: ftp_put: pictureuploader: Cannot create file. in C:\web\neteject\ftp.php on line 214

and when logging in I get this error sometimes;

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in C:\web\neteject\ftp.php on line 35

I have read/write permissions on both the directory and ftp-user.

Thanks/ Henrik

Sorry, did not test this before submitting it.

Here is the updated script. I did test this one and it worked like a charm.
