You really don't need all those '.' in there:P $address = "ftp://$FTPuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/$FileFolder/$FileName"; will work just fine. Not any faster or anything, just more readable. > This script always worked for me, it has now stopped working trying it > on the server of a different provider, returning an error 'failed to > open stream...' > > I have the suspect that the funcion is failing due to the particular > account name ( used also as FTP username ) this italian provider gived > me when I sibscribed: It contains a @ symbol ( I.E., [EMAIL PROTECTED] ), > and I believe that this confuses the parsing of the > ftp://User:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/filepath string. > > Can you confirm this, or do you believe that the problem could be > caused by other factors ( like server settings ) ? > > Could you suggest me e workaround? Try using just the 123456 of the username... Probably won't work, but worth a shot. Or do this: $FTPuserURL = urlencode($FTPuser); before you compose the $address, and use $FTPuserURL instead of $FTPuser. That will replace the @ with %40 which will almost for sure be the kosher way have @ in an FTP username in a URL. Technically, you could/should also urlencode() the password and FilePath and FileName, I think. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
