Set FTP username and password

[mark_kccs]

Hello

 

My current scenario for this process is a follows:

 

I create a new user and set up the directories with a script. One of the directories is for uploading files and I create an FTP username and password manually in my isp’s control panel. This locks down the directory when the user logins with an FTP client.

 

I have been told that I should be able to set the FTP username and password from the script but despite lots of searching cannot find the answer. Any pointers in the right direction will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi Vikas

 

Thanks for the reply. I did look there but cannot see what I'm looking for as nothing there gives me the option to set the user and pass as far as I can see.

any suggestions?

 

Thanks

<?php
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
       echo "FTP connection has failed!";
       echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
       exit;
   } else {
       echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
   }

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);

// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
       echo "FTP upload has failed!";
   } else {
       echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";
   }

// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?> 

 

As seen on http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php in the example section.

Hi Frost

 

Thanks for the reply. Does this script set a perminant user and pass? It looks like it would be used to logon to a file with these already set. Am I missing something?

 

Thanks
