are you trying to allow a user who logs in, to use his same username when interfacing with the FTP server? obviously, the password for the FTP server will be different. Or are you looking to dynamically create a one time user/passwd for the user so that it changes each time they access the FTP server? -----Original Message----- From: Merlin Morgenstern [mailto:merlin_x@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 6:44 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: setting up FTP account names via PHP Marc Steinert wrote: > Merlin Morgenstern schrieb: >> Hello everybody, >> >> I am running a real estate site where I would like to enable bulk >> upload via real estate software that exports an xml file into an ftp >> account. >> >> In order to give every user unique access I would need to generate >> individual ftp name and passwords for each member.

One possible sollution as I figured is to alter the virtual user table of the ftp server with php. Is this the way to go, or does somebody have a better idea that saves dev. time? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
