You'll need to download PSFTP and login with your SSH login info. From there you can use the proper commands to get/put the files to/from the server.

You can use the following code at the top of your script as an alternative. This acts the same as setting the php.ini setting, but is on a per-script basis.

 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

 

And then also add this..

 

error_reporting('E_ALL');

i just get this

[admin@ip-68-178-248-83 ~]$ ini_set('display_errors', 1)

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `'display_errors','

Heh, you don't enter that in to the SSH prompt. You enter it at the top of your PHP script. I gave you two methods.

 

The first one is where you download PSFTP and use the command GET (e.g. "get php.ini") and PUT (e.g. "put php.ini") to download/upload the php.ini file. Note that you have to move to the directory the file is in before executing this. When you "GET" the file, it will be downloaded to the same folder the psftp.exe program is on your computer. Open it with notepad, edit it, save it. Then use "PUT" and it will upload the file. Editing the php.ini file changes the setting server-wide.

 

The second one.. you add a small code and it turns the feature on for that script. Adding this to your script changes the setting for the script it is added to only.
