ftp_get: what goes wrong?

[cxian]

Hi all,

I am trying to download files from a remote with the use of ftp_get.
Somehow, the script always return to false.

Here's what I got:

[php]
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ft p_host);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn _id, $ftp_username, $ftp_password);

if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result )){
echo "FTP connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_host for user $ftp_username";
exit;
} else {
echo "Connected to $ftp_host, for user $ftp_username";

//change directory
$ftp_chdir = ftp_chdir($conn _id,$remote_pat h);
//retrieves files in the directory
$file_slist = ftp_nlist($conn _id,$remote_pat h);
//open local directory
$dir_opn = opendir($local_ path);

//get all the remote files
foreach ($file_slist as $file_s) {
$ftp_get = ftp_get($conn_i d,$local_path.$ local_file,$rem ote_path.$file_ s,FTP_ASCII);
}

//close dir
closedir($ftp_c hdir);

//close ftp connection
ftp_close($conn _id);

} //else
[/php]

Do I set the right parameters?


Thanks in advice!

It looks okay, as long as you are really sure that all the other steps were completed correctly. Therefore myou should test the result of each function performed.
Since ftp_chdir() is supposed to throw its own php error in case of failure, I advise you to test the results of your commands, because there could be the root of the problem. Adapt the following commands by capturing any possible errors:

[php]if (!$ftp_slist)
die ("ftp_nlist failed");

if (!$dir_opn)
die ("open_dir failed");[/php]
Ronald :cool:

Okay, there should be some error there.

Thank you very much.
