i am having trouble with the php fopen function using a WMV viedo file i am

[Frank H. Shaw]

The problems i am haveing are two fold and are do to a missunderstanding of something - first the php script is located on a web server and I am wirting  a php script to download a WMV formted file and put it on my desk top computer but my fopen is failing and why - i have tried to simplfy the process by only put in the fopen and then close it after wards. - what i am trying to do is FTP the WMV viedo file to the local computer using a php script located and to be run from a web server.

 

 

 

so how do i modify the fopen so that it know that the file i am opening is to be written on the local computer and not on the web server.

 

 

 

This is the error meassge i am getting

 

 

 

Warning: fopen(cnbcprofile.wmv) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\redhotstocks.com\httpdocs\download.php on line 10

 

 

 

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\redhotstocks.com\httpdocs\download.php on line 11

 

 

 

 

 

here is the test php script that I am using :

 

 

 

<?php

 

$local_file = 'cnbcprofile.wmv';

 

 

 

// open some file to write to

 

$handle = fopen($local_file, 'wb');

 

fclose($handle);

 

?>

 

 

 

 

 

_________________________________________________________

 

 

 

Note: I removed the actial IP address and username and password from the php script.

 

 

 

below is the full php script

 

 

 

<?php

 

// path to remote file

 

$ftp_server = '00.00.000.000';

 

$ftp_user_name = 'username';

 

$ftp_user_pass = 'password';

 

$remote_file = 'cnbcpvct.wmv';

 

$local_file = 'cnbcprofile.wmv';

 

 

 

// open some file to write to

 

$handle = fopen($local_file, 'wb');

 

 

 

// set up basic connection

 

$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

 

if (!$conn_id)

 

{

 

echo ' Error you are too stoned and could not connent to ftp server <br />';

 

exit;

 

}

 

echo ' connected to ftp server <br />';

 

 

 

// login with username and password

 

@ $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

 

if (!$login_result)

 

{

 

echo "Error: Could not log on as <br />";

 

ftp_quit($conn_id);

 

exit;

 

}

 

echo "Login in was succesful <br />";

 

 

 

// try to download $remote_file and save it to $handle

 

if (ftp_fget($conn_id, $handle, $remote_file, FTP_BINARY, 0))

 

{

 

echo "Red Hot Stocks Is Updating";

 

echo "successfully written to" . $local_file . "\n";

 

} else {

 

echo "There was a problem while downloading $remote_file to" . $local_file . "\n";

 

}

 

echo "Red Hot Stocks Is Updating";

 

// close the connection and the file handler

 

ftp_close($conn_id);

 

fclose($handle);

 

?>

 

 

 

Here are the actial errors from the full script!
