script that downloads edits then reuploads

[ronnie88]

Okay I am looking for a script that downloads a remote files using ftp access then edits a file..... adding lines to a text file... then closes the file then reuploads the file back to the remote server is there any scripts out there that does this? thanks in advance. Also the script would have to be editable in the sense of directory of the remote server, remote server, username, and password in a form.... Thanks again!

Go to the PHP manual and read up on the ftp functions. FTP is not that complicated to do.

rule 1:  if you can imagine it, someone has already done it

 

so yes I'm sure, somewhere out there, a script exists to do this, however, it is simple enough it would take less time to just roll your own.

 

You will need:

 

http://us.php.net/ftp

 

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php

 

do a search for "php filesystem functions" and you will find tutorials about opening and writing to files.  If this is unix, you might also just consider using system() or exec() to append the file using unix STDIO redirection (aka system("echo $line >> $file")  )
