PHP/FTP fopen

[jay7981]

Hey all i am attempting to connect to a ftp address and display the contents of a file into a textarea and i keep getting errors is there something wrong with the code or the ftp server?

 

<?php
    $log_file= "ftp://username:password@68.232.164.100/czero/68.232.164.100:27015/czero/gsconsole.log"; 
    $log_handle = fopen($log_file, "r"); 
    $log_contents = fread($log_handle, filesize($log_file)); 
    fclose($log_handle);
?>
Console Log:
<textarea name="log_view" cols="110" rows="20" readonly="readonly" wrap="virtual"><?php echo "$log_contents" ; ?></textarea>

That's an awfully repetitive URI you have there.

Try something like:

<?php
    $log_file= file_get_contents("ftp://username:password@68.232.164.100/czero/68.232.164.100:27015/czero/gsconsole.log"); 

?>
<textarea name="log_view" cols="110" rows="20" readonly="readonly" wrap="virtual"><?php echo $log_file; ?></textarea>

 

You might have to urlencode your URI.

BTW, first make sure you can access that log file using the link. Copy and paste it in your browser to find out.

yes i can access the file via link

 

the errors are

and before i am asked yes i do have read permissions from the server host i emailed them directly and asked if this protocol was allowed and here was there response....

Dear Customer,

Ticket xxx-xxx has been updated by Andrew Miesner [staff].

Jay,

You can absolutely use php and fopen to connect to the FTP and pull the log file. Unfortunately, that would be the only way to do so.

Thank you,

Edit:

Attempt of above code failed ...

Yes i know but unfortunatly i cant change that its set via the host .....

[jay7981]

ok so i was able to resolve the connection refused error but the "failed to open stream: No such file or directory" still persisting ...

 

here is the new code:

<?php
$_link = urlencode("ftp://username:password@68.232.164.100") ;
$path1 = "czero" ;
$path2 = urlencode("68.232.164.100:27015") ; 
$log_file = "gsconsole.log" ;
$filename = "$_link/$path1/$path2/$path1/$log_file" ;
    $log_handle = fopen($filename, "r"); 
    $log_contents = fread($log_handle); 
    fclose($log_handle);
?>
<textarea name="Logview" cols="110" rows="20" readonly="readonly" wrap="virtual"><?php echo "$log_contents" ; ?></textarea>

 

the current and persisting errors

Warning: fopen(ftp%3A%2F%2Fusername%3Apassword%4068.232.164.100/czero/test/czero/gsconsole.log) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/95/6637895/html/example.com/clan_new/includes/functions/test.php on line 16
