FTP issue

mhenderson00 · November 11, 2006

Hi all!

I have an upload.php program that uses ftp_put to connect to ftp and upload files.

I am able to connect and upload files. However, I am able to upload files FROM the directory my php program is running TO
the same server. I want to ftp a remote file uploaded through my webpage.
When I cature the filename in a form and use that filename as the FROM file, I get an ftp error??'

How do I use FTP to oupload a file from my laptop for example, through my webpage onto my server?'

Please let me know if you need more info

Thanks in advance

michelle is the directory my uploader.php is in. If I try to use the $filename (from the file selected to upload from form) it won't work, I even tried to put the directory in manually (ie C:/temp.txt). The only time I am successful seems when I upload a file from michelle to somewhere on my same server, since the form is calling a program on my server and I am ftp to my server, it seems I am ftp to myself??? I'm new at this sorry :) how do i create an ftp from my a file on my remote computer, through this program to my websever?
