FTP working on cPanel but not in Plesk?

[fbemo]

Hi,

 

I'm writing a code where the script will transfer web files/folder from site A to site B.

This is working on cPanel that are using "public_html" but this isn't working on Plesk

which are using "httpdocs".

 

It stuck saying;

 

Create Folders

 

Sorry the folder: /images already exists

 

;while there is no file/folder inside "httpdocs", it is empty.

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_WARNING);

//--------------------------- connect and login to server
function ftpconnect($host,$user,$pass) {
   global $conn;
   $conn=ftp_connect($host) or die('Could not connect to host '.$host.'.<br /><a href="javascript:history.back(-1)">Back</a>');
   //login to server
   if (!ftp_login($conn,$user,$pass)) {
      echo 'Could not connect to host '.$host.'.<br /><a href="javascript:history.back(-1)">Back</a>';
      exit;
   }
}

//--------------------------  close ftp connections
function ftpClose($conn) {
  //close ftp connection
   ftp_close($conn);
}

//------------------------ create directory

   if (!ftp_mkdir($conn,$dirToCreate)) {
      echo "<p>Sorry the folder: $dirToCreate already exists</p>\n";
      exit;
   } else {
      echo "<p>Folder: $dirToCreate created</p>\n";
   }
}

?>

 

Thanks

rename the folder images and then try again..

 

I'm sorry, I might not get it clear. But FYI, the"Site B" is empty. There's no such folder named "images".

Thanks.

[Deoctor]

is this ur entire code..??

index.jpg is the remote file name

and image01.jpg is the local file name.

 

You mean I need to change the index.jpg and image01.jpg? Sorry, I'm new to PHP.

[Deoctor]

u put what ever u have given previously

 

i just gave it for your reference

 

also u need to change the hostname,userid and password to what ever u have already given

 

[Deoctor]

do one thing

just chnge this function like this

function ftpMkDir($conn,$dirToCreate) {
   if (!ftp_mkdir($conn,$dirToCreate)) {
      echo "<p>Sorry the folder: $dirToCreate already exists</p>\n";
      echo "<p>So continuing with copying the files</p>\n";
      copyFile($conn,"index.jpg","image01.jpg");
      exit;
   } 
   else 
   {
      echo "<p>Folder: $dirToCreate created</p>\n";
   }
}

[fbemo]

It prompts this:

 

Create Folders

 

Sorry the folder: /images already exists

 

So continuing with copying the files

 

There was a problem while uploading index.jpg

[Deoctor]

i think u copied my enitre code..

use this code

<?php

   global $conn;

   if (!ftp_login($conn,$user,$pass)) {

      exit;

}

//--------------------------  close ftp connections

  //close ftp connection
   ftp_close($conn);
}

      copyFile($conn,"index.jpg","image01.jpg");
      exit;
   } 
   else 
   {
      echo "<p>Folder: $dirToCreate created</p>\n";
   }
}

//------------------------ set directory permissions
function ftpFolderPermission($conn,$folderChmod) {
   if (ftp_chmod($conn, 0777, $folderChmod) !== false) {
      echo "<p>$folderChmod chmoded successfully to 0777</p>\n";
   }
}

//---------------------- copy file to new server
function copyFile($conn,$remoteFile,$localFile) {
   if (ftp_put($conn,$remoteFile,$localFile,FTP_BINARY)) {
      echo "<p>successfully uploaded $localFile to $remoteFile</p>\n";
   } else {
      echo "<p>There was a problem while uploading $remoteFile</p>\n";
   }
}


//----------- end of functions -------------------------


//get the credentials from user
$user = $_POST['username']; //change to ftp username $username =
$pass = $_POST['passwd']; //change to ftp password
$host = $_POST['urlname']; //change to ftp url

if (($user == "") || ($pass == "") || ($host == "")) {
   echo "Please fill all the details.";
} else 
{

//connect to server
ftpconnect($host,$user,$pass);

echo "<h2>Create Folders</h2>\n";
//create directory
ftpMkDir($conn,"/images");

echo "<h2>Set Folder Permissions</h2>\n";
//change folder mermissions to 0777
ftpFolderPermission($conn,"images");

echo "<h2>Upload Files</h2>\n";
//copy file to new server
//connection then path to copy file to then path to file on this server
copyFile($conn,"index.html","http://www.exampleofwebsite.com/template1/index.html");
}

?>

 

 

but here one small problem is that

if u are running this code on the second server this php

function should be changed like this

copyFile($conn,"http://www.exampleofwebsite.com/template1/index.html","index.html");

 

 

 

[fbemo]

Same prompts like before, I wonder where the script reads that non-existed images folder.

httpdocs inside my hosting for that particular domain is really empty.

is there a form before this code???

 

[fbemo]

I tried with folder "asdas324daff" too, which this is really unique. Impossible to have it

on my hosting. But I still getting the same prompts;

 

Create Folders

 

Sorry the folder: /asdas324daff already exists

It is from this code.

Create Folders

 

Sorry the folder: /asdas324daff already exists

 

then i think the user id and password which u r using doesnot have the full permissions to create a folder..

Nope, it has full rights on it. Btw, the entire code is working on cPanel. It working fine transferring

all the files from site A to site B. But when I using another hosting (Plesk), it doesn't working.

 

Site A (cPanel) to Site B (cPanel) = OK

Site A (cPanel) to Site B (Plesk) = Not OK

 

Or do I have to assign "public_html" for cPanel user and/or "httpdocs" for Plesk user

 

 

FYI, this is a script I'm providing to one of community. They just need to select website template

they want and just fill in simple credentials (username, url, pass) and hit submit.

 

Then it will automatically upload this template to their hosting in no time.

 

But the problem is, some of users there are using Plesk... most of them.. so I need this to

be working on Plesk hosting.

 

Thanks.

[fbemo]

I have an idea but I don't know how to code it;

 

Let suppose the script will first determine whether it is a cPanel hosting or Plesk hosting,

if cPanel > run the original script like in this thread

if Plesk > locate "httpdocs" and copy all the files/folders into it

 

Anyone can re-code it? Thanks

now i got it out

u cannot create a folder at the place of htdocs

so i think u are getting this error..

do one thing

in the copy file change the command to

copyFile($conn,"httpdocs/images/<remotefilename>","<local file>");

[fbemo]

echo "<h2>Create Folders</h2>\n";
//create directory
ftpMkDir($conn,"httpdocs/images");

echo "<h2>Upload Files</h2>\n";
//copy file to new server
//connection then path to copy file to then path to file on this server
copyFile($conn,"httpdocs/index.html","http://www.exampleofwebsite.com/template1/index.html");

 

Yep, it is working... thanks a lot!

 

Btw, before that I would like to know how to Auto detect the hosting is using cPanel or Plesk?

 

If Plesk > Perform ftpMkDir($conn,"httpdocs/images");

else if cPanal > Perform ftpMkDir($conn,"/images");

 

P.s: Sorry I fall asleep last night

 

Thanks again

[Deoctor]

actually u cannot determine.

coz the cpanel will use the Linux operating system, where as the Pleask is based on the Windows operating system.

 

so  u need to give an option in ur tool for the user to mention whether he is using the Cpanel or Pleask then u can perform the operations depending upon user selections.

Yep, this is what I'm working for right now.. I need to detect whether it is using public_html or httpdocs..
