[PHP] ftp in PHP4

[Chesley A Windon]

I need to have web based ftp capabilities for a site I am working on.  My 
development server is running RedHat 7.1 and php-4.0.4, and I did compile 
php with the --enable-ftp switch.

After reading the docs at php.net, I found a "canned" script 
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php) that I thought I would try so 
as to give me a better idea on what was involved.

When running the script, I can connect to the ftp server, list the 
contents of the directory, and disconnect, but cannot upload anything.  
When I try, I get the following error:

Warning: error opening /home/windon/somefile in 
/var/www/html/ftp.php on line 43

line 43 reads:

$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, "$destination_file", "$source_file", 
FTP_BINARY);

In $destination_file I have just the filename, while in $source_file I 
have the full path and the filename.

Thanks,

Chesley

[PHP] Re: ftp in PHP4

Since my original post, the status has changed but let me recap...

The file /home/windon/somefile did have permissions set to have anyone
read it, but I never checked the permissions on the /home/windon
directory.  This has since been corrected.

Next I was getting a permission denied error, which I found to be on the
destination host.  I had to give permissions of 777 to the destination
directory for file transfer to happen.  I find this as a security issue.

Has anyone experienced this, or know of a work around?

Thanks again,

Chesley

By default php limits file uploads to 2MB.  You need to change the 
upload_max_filesize variable in your php.ini.
