p0werdirector Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 For my website, i need a function to upload a file to my ftp server directly from the website. I dont really know much about php so i googled it, found a code and configurated it. The code now looks like this: <html> <head> </head> <body> <form action="ftp.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST"> <input name="local_file" type="file" size="50" maxlength="1024"> <input type="hidden" value="1" name="flag" /> <input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload"> </form> <?php if(isset($_POST['upload'])){ $ftp_server = "62.153.19.158"; $username = "Website"; $password = "web"; $file = $HTTP_POST_FILES['local_file']['name']; $connection_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); $login_result = ftp_login($connection__id, $username, $password); if ((!$connection_id) || (!$login_result)){ die 'No FTP-Conection established!' <br> 'Connection with FTP-Server as user '. $username . 'not possible!'; }else{ echo 'Connected.'; } if(ftp_put($connection_id, $file, $local_file, FTP_ASCII)){ echo 'Error while uploading!'; }else{ echo 'File '. $file .' uploaded on '. $ftp_server .' as '. $file; } ftp_quit($connection_id); } ?> </body> </html> If i open it up, i just get an error code saying: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''No FTP-Conection established!' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/virtual/test-mediaz.eu/htdocs/Upload.php on line 26 I checked the code a few times and even a friend who knows much more about PHP could not find the problem. I would be very grateful if someone of you could help me with this since it is quite an important project.

PravinS Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 What exactly your requirement? If you want to upload/download multiple files from your local machine to server or server to local machine, you can use any FTP client like FILE ZILA, CUTEFTP etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277868-ftp-upload-problems/#findComment-1429442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0werdirector Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I need multiple users on the website to upload files from their computer to my server. And since there will be a lot of different users, i cant just create a new user for the server for each user. So whoever wants to upload a file, should just open up the website, choose his file and upload it. Without the need to login with his own account. All the uploads from the website should just go over the account "Website" (as it is set in the code).

PravinS Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 According to you requirement don't use FTP upload script, you can use simple PHP uploading functions like copy, move_uploaded_file etc. to upload files. refer : http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277868-ftp-upload-problems/#findComment-1429445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0werdirector Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Doesnt that just store it on the webserver? it needs to be stored on a seperate server Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277868-ftp-upload-problems/#findComment-1429446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PravinS Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 So you can use FTP php script. Just create single FTP account and use your above code for uploading, but do take security measures.

Irate Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 ftp.php is the form action you specified, means that all code checking will be performed there. Create a new file named ftp.php in the same directory as the file you used, and add the php code from the document above into it. If you cannot do so, change the <form action="ftp.php"> to <form action=""> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277868-ftp-upload-problems/#findComment-1429471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0werdirector Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Alright, the files are created and it now leads me to Fatal error: Call to undefined function ftp_connect() in /home/virtual/test-mediaz.eu/htdocs/ftp.php on line 8 FTP is installed on the server Edited May 10, 2013 by p0werdirector Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277868-ftp-upload-problems/#findComment-1429472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irate Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Strange, ftp_connect() is a function since PHP 4 :/ What PHP version is your server using? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277868-ftp-upload-problems/#findComment-1429473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0werdirector Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I dont know which exact version its using since i am not the administrator and i cant contact him at the moment. The only thing i can say is that its a LiteSpeed Web Server Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277868-ftp-upload-problems/#findComment-1429474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PravinS Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Please check the server configuration and also check that FTP functions are enabled on web server Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277868-ftp-upload-problems/#findComment-1429478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
