FTP Download

[akrytus]

I am interested in downloading a file from a ftp server using php here is what I have:



[code]
function FTP_File ($dir,$file){
  $remote_dir=$dir."/".$file;
  $local_dir="c:\\".$file;
  $handle=fopen($local_dir, 'w');
  echo "Getting file: $remote_dir, and putting it $local_dir<br>";  // For testing purpose
  if(ftp_fget($_SESSION['FTP'],$handle,$remote_dir, FTP_BINARY)){echo "SUCCESS!";}
  else {echo "Didnt Work!";}
}
[/code]

Output:
[quote]
Getting file: /public_ftp/POS/Restaraunt Manager/Common/Security Key.txt, and putting it c:\Security Key.txt
SUCCESS!
[/quote]

I get no errors, but the file isnt there.  I tried several files but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?

To say the obvious, you do not close the local file you are writing to. Try adding

[code]fclose($handle);[/code]

somewhere after the ftp session has ended and try again.

Nah, doesnt help.  Thanks though.

No one has a clue?

No one has experience in PHP FTP?  I would have thought this was a very simple operation and have gotten an answer very quickly!  Someone out there has got to know what I am doing wrong.

Ok here is what I have found out.

The server is saving the file on the server side in its current public_html dir as c:\$filename.  How can I save this FTP file on a local drive instead?
