[SOLVED] Retrieve list of files from remote ftp server

[monkeypaw201]

Once, again another dilema poped up  (last one i promise )  i need to get a list of files from a remote FTP server.. i tried this:

 

<?php 
if ($handle = opendir('ftp://server.com/directory')) { 
    echo "Directory handle: $handle\n"; 
    echo "Files:\n"; 

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        echo "$file\n"; 
    } 

    closedir($handle); 
} 
?>

 

and it didn't work..

<?php
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect("ftp.whatever.com") or die("Could not connect");
ftp_login($ftp_conn,"USER","PASS");
echo "Files:<br />";
$files_in_dir = ftp_nlist($conn,"."));
foreach ($files_in_dir as $val) {
    echo $val . "<br />";
}
ftp_close($conn);
?>

 

Fill in your info.

ok, thanks for the speedy reply, but i'm connecting without user/pass...

Don't use ftp_login then and try it.  Or use an anonymous login.

ok, so i ran the following code:

 

<?php
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect("ftp.whatever.com") or die("Could not connect");
echo "Files:<br />";
$files_in_dir = ftp_nlist($conn,"."));
foreach ($files_in_dir as $val) {
    echo $val . "<br />";
}
ftp_close($conn);
?>

 

and it spat a blank page at me

$ftp_conn = ftp_connect("ftp.whatever.com") or die("Could not connect");

$files_in_dir = ftp_nlist($conn,"."));
foreach ($files_in_dir as $val) {
    echo $val . "<br />";
}
ftp_close($conn);
?>

Put in the correct FTP server...

You said "I ran the following code", so I thought you copied it exactly as it was. >_>  Sorry, but you'd be surprised on these forums.

<?php
$conn = ftp_connect("ftp.****.com") or die("Cannot connect to FTP server");
$log = ftp_login($conn, "****", "***");
$raw = ftp_nlist($conn, "/public_html");
ftp_close($conn);

echo "<b>Files:</b><br><br>";

foreach($raw AS $file){
if(substr($file, 0, 1) != '.' && strpos($file, '.')){
	echo $file . "<br>";
}
}
?>

 

i get:

 

Files:

AC_RunActiveContent.js
Blink 182 - All The Small Things.mp3
call.wav
