I upload XML file through FTP:
$ftp = "ftp";
$username = "username";
$pwd = "password";
$filename = $_FILES[$xyz][$abc];
$tmp = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$destination = "/Content/EnquiryXML ";
$connect = ftp_connect($ftp)or die("Unable to connect to host");
ftp_login($connect,$username,$pwd)or die("Authorization Failed");
echo "Connected!<br/>";
if(!$filename)
{
echo"Please select a file";
}
else
{
ftp_put($connect,$destination.'/'.$filename,$tmp,FTP_ASCII)or die("Unable to upload");
echo"File successfully uploaded to FTP";
}
I want to send the XML file created using DOMDocument
to a FTP server but I am not able.
The ftp_put
returns false.
Most typical cause of problems with ftp_put
(or any other transfer command like ftp_get
, ftp_nlist
, ftp_rawlist
) is that PHP defaults to the active mode. And in 99% cases, one has to switch to the passive mode, to make the transfer working. Use the ftp_pasv
function.
$connect = ftp_connect($ftp) or die("Unable to connect to host");
ftp_login($connect, $username, $pwd) or die("Authorization failed");
// turn passive mode on
ftp_pasv($connect, true) or die("Unable switch to passive mode");
See also:
- PHP ftp_put fails with "Warning: ftp_put (): PORT command successful"
- my article on the active and passive FTP connection modes.
This worked:
// connect and login to FTP server
$ftp_server = "host";
$ftp_username = "username";
$ftp_userpass = "password";
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);
$file ="$abc";
// upload file
if (ftp_put($ftp_conn, "/$abc" , $file, FTP_ASCII)){
echo "Successfully uploaded $file.";
} else {
echo "Error uploading $file";
}
// close connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);
