Hi there,
I am writing a PHP FTP client for my project. I want to put a download
option and an upload option, but I don't know how. My problem is this:
How can I make the server the PHP script is on delete the file after
uploading it to the SFTP, or after the user has finished downloading it
from the server the PHP script is on?
Let me put the question this way.
My server connects to an FTP. Then, it downloads a file from the FTP, and
then sends me the link to that temperary file on the server. Now, when I
download it from my server, my script should delete the file. How can I
make it wait until the download of the file is finished?
Same goes for uploading.
Thanks!
Well if you write a download script, then you can delete it at the end
and it won't be deleted until after the download completes:
//Do your ftp from remote to local'/path/to/file.ext'
exec('ftp_get.sh remotefile.ext /path/to/file.ext);
//or
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
ftp_gett($conn_id, '/path/to/file.ext', $server_file, FTP_BINARY)
ftp_close($conn_id);
?php
//send proper headers for download
readfile('/path/to/file.ext');
unlink('/path/to/file.ext');
?
For upload, depending upon how you're doing it, a call to unlink()
shouldn't execute until your FTP is done and exited:
?php
//User uploads file to '/path/to/file.ext'
exec('ftp_put.sh /path/to/file.ext);
//or
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
ftp_put($conn_id, $server_file, '/path/to/file.ext', FTP_BINARY)
ftp_close($conn_id);
unlink('/path/to/file.ext');
?
