Thats all it was, the ports at work were blocked. Now i can start formatting it and sorting it, thanks guys

I will re-run the script when i get home from work in 2 days time, I am fairly certain now my work camps wifi has ports blocked.

I tried the above code, this was the result Notice: Use of undefined constant ftp_connect - assumed 'ftp_connect' in C:\php\www\index.php on line 6 the function is availableCouldn't connect to server It may help to point out my setup Windows 7 Ultimate x64 php-5.5.11-Win32-VC11-x86 and i am using the built in web server This is my first attempt at anything ftp related with php, i thought id have to enable an extension dll in the php.ini but none for ftp exist

I tried both of the examples above and they did not work. I think I know the issue though, I am currently at work for the next 8 days (we live on site for that duration) and our wifi has some pretty extensive port blocking, its entirely possible that port 21 is blocked (if the php protocol utilizes that port?) thanks for the quick responses by the way

Hey all, Im trying to create a php script to replicate the following weather radar http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR703.loop.shtml they have supplied people with a ftp (it has no user/pass) ftp://ftp2.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/radar/ so this is my code and it wont even connect. <?php $ftp_server = "ftp2.bom.gov.au"; // set up a connection or die $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); ?> I think it might be the ftp itself?
