Thanks for the reply Chris. How would you suggest displaying the current "home" directory for the user? I've tried / and indeed the "real" directory name on that particular server. Funnily enough, I've also just tried a generic php/ftp script tool, and it works on a third party server into the one I'm trying to connect to, but not from the server I'm working on! Is there anyway in which php needs configuring for certain connections? -----Original Message----- From: chris smith [mailto:dmagick@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 27 June 2006 14:16 To: James Nunnerley Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FTP Problems On 6/27/06, James Nunnerley <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I'm trying to create some functionality which requires FTPing onto another > server, using the php functions. > > Doing the following comes up with a successful login, but cannot display the > current directory; yet when I FTP directory from the server which is serving > the php pages, it works fine. > > // set up basic connection > $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server, 21); > ftp_pasv($conn_id, true); > > // login with username and password > $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $username, $password); > > // check connection > if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { > > echo "FTP connection has failed!"; > echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $username<br />"; > exit; > > } else { > > echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $username<br />"; > > } > > echo(ftp_pwd($conn_id)."<br />"); # Comes back with / > > $buff = ftp_nlist($conn_id,""); ftp_nlist requires a directory name.
