If I FTP connect to *my* webhosted servers, I'm put into a directory which contains 'www' and 'php' and 'private' which are set up by the host for 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' 'include_path' and 'openbase_dir' respectively, as well as any other directories/files I chose to add there. It all depends how FTP and www server are configured, and they are not tied at the hip by any means. If not, how can I insure the ftp root dir is the same as DOC_ROOT? You'll have to ASK the user to config their own account to map things up, I guess... You can't use the absolute path with ftp. Again, depends on FPT server and setup -- Some FTP setups accept an absolute path and allow the FTP user to start at the '/' box root directory, but not all the time. chdir() doesn't change the ftp current dir. No, it changes the directory on your PHP server box. if you ftp_chdir() and it's already on the root, it posts an error. You should be able to catch that and get rid of it. ftp_pwd() simply returns /, which simply says it's on its root, where ever that is. Yes. That is where it is. Unless it's been configured to not only have its own root, but also to change the user to a non-root directory upon login, which is also possible setup, especially when the user is allowed to run rampant all over hte box, and the FTP server relies on user/access permissions on the box to control access. -- Some people have a gift link here.

The ftp_* functions behave just as any ftp client behaves, AFAIK. If you log into the FTP server via your favorite command-line FTP client, you are seeing the exact same behaviour as the ftp_* functions will see.

I don't want the user to have to test the ftp connection with a ftp utility program first. You can only do that if you have control over the ftp server settings such that the FTP directory overlaps your DOC_ROOT at some point. And even then you need to know exactly how it overlaps since FTP doesn't expose it's real location to FTP clients (at least not that I know of).
