The ftp connection is made from where the php script resides. Which means on the webserver. So if the host has blocked outgoing ftp connections from the webserver you're hosed. That is why I suggested that you try an ftp connection to the webserver itself (from the webserver of course): 1) I'm assuming that your host machine has both the webserver installed (obviously) and that it has an ftpserver (for you put stuff into your webspace). 2) I'm further assuming that your host has not blocked ftp connections coming from localhost Thus if you're able to connect locally then it is a good indication that php's ftp functions are not a fault, and that it is the host's network configuration that is preventing you from making outgoing ftp connections. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom. -- J.R.R.
