Uploading a file via FTP

[robcrozier]

Hi everyone, what i'm trying to do is allow a user to upload a file to the server via FTP using PHP.  I have chosen to do it this way so that the file permissions are not set to apache when the file is uploaded, instead they will be set to me (the owner) so that they can be remotely opened etc later on.

 

Here's what i have so far:

$ftp_server = "******"; 
$ftp_user_name = "******"; 
$ftp_user_pass = "******"; 
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); 

ftp_put($conn_id, $target, $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], FTP_BINARY);

 

However i keep getting this error message:

 

ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: path/to/file/name.jpg: No such file or directory in path/to/php/file on line 91

 

Can anyone help?

 

Cheers

how do you set the value of $target?

[robcrozier]

The target is set like this:

 

$target = "../media/siteImgs/store/products/".$file; 

 

[rhodesa]

if you put this line right before the ftp_put():

echo $target.'<br>';
echo $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'].'<br>';

what does the output look like?

Here's what's output:

 

../path/to/file/targetFileName.jpg

fileName.JPG

 

Thanks mate

well....$target isn't getting set properly then. give your script a look over again and see if you can find it. if you post the entire script, i can help you try and find the problem
