garethhall Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hello to all you gurus out there. I have a question. I have a file php file upload system and works all good. Currently I am using the http file upload move_uploaded_file() function. My question is are there any gains by changing it to ftp_put() ??? What are they and what are the benefits of changing if there is any?

Garethp Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hm... so far as I know the only difference is that FTP is for accessing other websites. There's no point if you're putting it on your own server. But say you want to take a file from server a to server b, and the script is on server a but not server b, you can't upload normally, you need FTP. But if you're going from a client to a server, there's no point Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/176804-solved-php-ftp-and-http-which/#findComment-932197 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 ftp is designed to handle file transfers, http is not. If your moving larger files (above 2G I think) http can become unreliable compared to ftp.

No. The ftp extension uses the ftp protocol. Surely that is obvious by the name of the extension.

garethhall Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yes but the website does not have an ftp connection to the server it has a http connection therefor isn't the file being uploaded to the php temp folder still a http ?

You might want to take a look at what the ftp extension actually does. Your way off base.
