[PHP] no reponse -- Need FTP help
Well, I didn't get a response from my previous post, so I'm trying again. I need to collect a group of files in a form and ftp them to a different server than the script is located on. Can this be done? how?

sure. keep track of the files on the server drive, then open a connection using fopen() and fputs the contents of each file.

Re: [PHP] no reponse -- Need FTP help
hmm, good idea, but the only access I have to the remote machine is ftp. Can't put a script on it. I am getting the feeling that I actually have to move the file(s) from the user's machine to my server and then transfer them to the FTP site? I was hoping there would be a way to transfer directly from the user to the remote FTP site. But now that I think about it, I guess probably not. so the trick would be to let the form upload them to /tmp and then move them to the remote site. Takes twice as long. :( I'm talking about 10-15 MB at a time while the user waits for confirmation. That's a long wait (even moving it once).

Re: [PHP] no reponse -- Need FTP help
Hi Probably the only way will be with a java applet to do the transfer directly to the other host. Not sure if applets can connect to a host that they did not originate from (not done much with java yet :) Tom At 11:09 PM 12/04/01 -0500, David Minor wrote: hmm, good idea, but the only access I have to the remote machine is ftp.

Re: [PHP] no reponse -- Need FTP help
You don't have to make the user wait for confirmation. What you could do if you wanted to be sure to tell the user if the connection failed or not, is to have him give his email addy for confirmation. When the file move is done, make a call to mail(). Once you've gotten the file from the user, display a confirmation that the file was recieved and will now be perminately stored. Stick your file move code, ftp or whatever, into a function. Then use http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php to call the function. If the function does it's job properly, have it mail the user with success. Otherwise you probably want to have it send the error to yourself, or email the user that the file didn't work. Only do this all once you are reasonably certain that there are no bugs in the code. Otherwise if there is an error, you'll never know it! -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
