Why does the download via ftp interrupts?

[lgman]

Hi all,

 

I'm using a script for downloading files from a specific folder (online) to the local pc/laptop. 2nd is that while downloading I'm checking the file local with if(!file_exists) to avoid overwriting. the issue is that the download is always incomplete.

 

(using php 5.x on a local pc that connects to the internet via ftp)

 

<?php
$remote_file = "";
$local_file = "";



$conn_id = ftp_connect($SVAR['remoteserver']); // might be www.mydomainname.com

// I thouhgt that the timeout would be the reason for the incomplete download but it's not.
# ftp_set_option($conn_id, FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC, 1800);

// Login
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $SVAR['serverftpuser'], $SVAR['serverftppass']); // myusername, myuserpass



if ((!$conn_id))
{ 
echo "could not connect to server.";
exit; 
}

ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);

ftp_chdir($conn_id, $SVAR['rem_imgtn']); // remote image directory


// content of the current directory
$contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, ".");
if(count($contents) == 0)
{
echo "directory on ftp server is empty.";
}
else
{
foreach($contents as $filename) // SVAR['loc_imgtn'] <- local file path
{
	if(!file_exists($SVAR['loc_imgtn'] ."/" .$filename)) // don't download the file if we've got it already!
	{
		$remote_file = $filename;
		$local_file = $SVAR['loc_imgtn'] ."/" .$filename;

		// well, it didn't work with the 'handle' and 'ftp_fget'(...)
		#$handle = fopen($local_file, 'w');

		ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $remote_file, FTP_BINARY);
	}
}

}

#fclose($handle);

// close FTP 
ftp_close($conn_id); 
?>

 

So, sometimes it downloads 10 of 17 files, and sometimes 12 of 17 files... I looked for other solutions providing download from ftp and comparing files and actually I thought that the snippet I've written can handle that job.

 

EDIT: Could it be that the file name is too long? what's the max. char for naming a file? is "020408158077uzhzee_22832ca87u88_gtfrggtz_hhgt_9i8u765_RX20897z.jpg" too long? I don't think because ftp-tools can download those easily.

 

Thank you so much for any idea or suggestions.
