FTP_Connect does'nt Work

[lucie]

ftp_connect() doesnt working in my live server, I have php 5+ version installed, any help really very urgent

[Maq]

Can you post the code?  Do you get errors?

 

 

Try this example's format: (PHP.net ftp_connect())

 

$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); 

?>

Thanks for the support

Im using the same code from the PHP.NET,

The isuse is that the server doesnt have FTP enabled, do you know how to enable it?

[Maq]

Sorry, I'm not sure, you may want to contact your host.

when u log into ur control pannel u need to create an ftp account, how do u upload files you must have an ftp server installed otherwise u cant upload files, so use the ftp details u use to upload files to ur server.

Actually there's other protocols besides FTP to transfer files onto a server.

[lucie]

Can you send me the protocol code to transfer files to the FTP part from using FTP_CONNECT?

[Maq]

You can transfer with SSH.  I'm not sure about coding it, you would have to google that.

function ftp(){
if($sys_local_server == $sys_live_site){ 
			if ($image_size > 0) {
				//Connect
				$ftp_con = ftp_connect($GLOBALS['sys_ftp_server']);
				if(!$ftp_con) echo("Failed to establish an FTP connection.");
				if(!ftp_login($ftp_con, $GLOBALS['sys_ftp_user'], $GLOBALS['sys_ftp_pass'])) echo("Failed to log in to FTP server.");

				//chmod directory
				if(!ftp_site($ftp_con, "CHMOD 0777 "."/".$folder)) echo("Failed to CHMOD directory.");

				//ftp the file
				$ftp_put = ftp_put($ftp_con, $folder."/".$filename, $image_filename, FTP_BINARY);			
				if(!$ftp_put) echo("Failed to FTP transfer file.");;			

				//chmod the file
				if(!ftp_site($ftp_con, "CHMOD 0644 ".$folder."/".$filename)) echo("Failed to reCHMOD directory.");
				//chmod directory back
				if(!ftp_site($ftp_con, "CHMOD 0755 ".$folder)) echo("Failed to reCHMOD directory.");

				if($ftp_put) return true;
				else return false;
			}
			else return false;
		}
}

 

this code can help you determin if you can at least log in, rember youy need to define foilder pass and username, folder will start from var/

part from using FTP_CONNECT?

 

I think he meant not using FTP_CONNECT().    ???

[lucie]

Yes, Im not using FTP Connect, becuase my server doesnt have FTP enabled.

That's why Im looking for a code to transfer files to FTP apart from using FTP_CONNECT

can i ask how do you get your files onto ur server ?

[lucie]

Im using Cute FTP client software to put the upload and download the files.

But I have to allow the users to upload the files via code, thats where I got stuck, bcoz my server is not FTP enabled

[Maq]

Im using Cute FTP client software to put the upload and download the files.

 

Then it should work.  Can you post you current code?

[nadeemshafi9]

log into your control panel and see if everythign to do with ftp is set

[lucie]

I called up the server guys, and they said that the site is in shared host, so they cant enable the FTP

[lucie]

Here is the code that Im using for FTP upload

 

function CheckFTPConnection($user_name, $ftp_user_pass){

$conn_id = ftp_connect("");

// Login with username and password

$ftp_user_name = ""

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

ftp_close($conn_id);

if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result))

      $returnError = "Error";

    else

  $returnError = "";

// echo $returnError;

return  $returnError;

}
