Ftp Help

[Danny620]

Hi, I'm thinking of using this ftp class http://www.shayanderson.com/php/simple-ftp-class-for-php.htm

I just wanted to know how I would go about transferring a folder with contents onto a remote server i.e

 

Server Local A

 

Folder – Blog

Inside folder

Index.php

Config.php

Images – folder

Css – folder

 

To remote server B

 

So I just want to copy the blog folder on server A to remote server B can you provide me with some code using class above?

 

Folder – Blog

Inside folder

Index.php

Config.php

Images – folder

Css - folder

<?php

$root = 'blog'; // starting folder (relative to where this script is at)

// find the folder structure and the files
$folders = array();
$files = array();
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($root));
while($it->valid()){
if (!$it->isDot()){
	$folders[] = $root .'/'. $it->getSubPath(); // get all folders
	$files[] = $it->key(); // get all files
}
$it->next();
}
$folders = array_unique($folders); // remove duplicates

include "SFTP.php";
$ftp = new SFTP("ftp host name", "ftp user name", "ftp password");
if(!$ftp->connect()) {
// connection failed, display last error
echo "Connection failed: {$ftp->error}<br />";
} else {
echo "Connection successful<br />";
// make the folder structure
foreach($folders as $folder){
	if($ftp->mkdir($folder)){
		echo "Made folder: $folder<br />";
	} else {
		echo "Error: {$ftp->error}<br />";
	}
}

// copy all the files
foreach($files as $file){
	if($ftp->put($file, $file)){
		echo "Copied: $file<br />";
	} else {
		echo "Error: {$ftp->error}<br />";
	}
}
}

A) The directory structure you actually have is not what you stated.

 

B) Since A) wasn't true and since most FTP servers cannot create multiple folder levels at one time, the script would need to be changed to create folders one level at a time.

 

C) If this is a one time operation, you should just use a FTP client to make a copy onto your PC, then FTP it onto the new server.

 

D) If you need to use a php script to do this, you should probably hire a programmer.

How can i change it to create folders one level at a time?

 

my target is to basicly copy a pre configured list of files to remote server all the user would have to do is enter his ftp details, thanks for the help already.
