I want to upload files from user's machine to folder uploads
in my FTP and it doesn't work. Can you help me?
$ftp_server = "some ip";
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, "some name", "some password");
$target_dir = "uploads/";
$target_file = basename($_FILES["filename"]["name"]);
if (ftp_fput($ftp_conn, $target_dir.$target_file, FTP_ASCII))
{
echo "Successfully uploaded $target_file.";
}
else
{
echo "Error uploading $target_file.";
}
You need to specify what local file (as of the webserver) you want to upload to the FTP server.
You can retrieve a name of a temporary file that contains a file uploaded via HTTP POST from user's machine to your webserver using $_FILES["filename"]["tmp_name"]
. Read about POST method uploads in PHP.
You can then pass that to ftp_put
(no need for ftp_fput
):
ftp_put($ftp_conn, $target_dir.$target_file, $_FILES["filename"]["tmp_name"], FTP_IMAGE)
Two other issues in your code (which are not your immediate problems, but you will face them right after you resolve it):
Absolutely do not use FTP_ASCII
, if you are uploading binary files, like .mp3
. Use FTP_IMAGE
.
You need to use ftp_pasv
.
use php-ftp-client library:
$ftp = new \FtpClient\FtpClient();
$ftp->connect($host, true, 990);
$ftp->login($login, $password);
// upload with the BINARY mode
$ftp->putAll($source_directory, $target_directory);
// Is equal to
$ftp->putAll($source_directory, $target_directory, FTP_BINARY);
// or upload with the ASCII mode
$ftp->putAll($source_directory, $target_directory, FTP_ASCII);
