What puzzles me is that one path must be absolute and the other relative to the root. And, I've got chdir to the
destination dir.
I know about ftp having its own root. In my code, I have a check to make certain the ftp root is the same as the
$_SERVER[document_root].

Can anyone explain what's going on.
If I assign $source= $source_dir . $file;
$source_dir is the absolute path i.e.,
/home/xxxxx/public_html/EditPage/
And $dist= $dist_dir . $file;
$dist_dir is simply relative to $_SERVER[document_root]; i.e., just
plain /test
To get ftp_put() to work, I must first chdir to the $dist_dir.
ftp_chdir($dist_dir);
ftp_put($conn_id, $dist, $source, flag];
Similar to 'document_root', FTP has its own idea of where a "root"
directory is for each login/user.
In your case, it would appear by coincidence to match up with
'document_root' -- well, perhaps not "coincidence" since many webhosts
restrict their users' FTP accounts to only be their own web
directories, so they can't go poking around in other people's stuff
quite as easily.
