This is a useful function if you want to transfer files between SERVERS. NOTE : sometimes you wish to transfer files between two servers... or if you have built a CMS and you want ot install the program on a clients server, it is advisable to transfer files by FTP rather than the move_uplaoded_file. This function accepts a parameet -- location of the file
<?php
function uploadFileFTP($FileName) {
//connect to the ftp server
$conn_id = ftp_connect(FTP_SERVER_ADDRESS);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, FTP_USER, FTP_PASSWORD);
// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
echo error="FTP connection has failed!<br>Attempted to connect to ".FTP_SERVER." for user : ".FTP_USER;
return false;
}
//skip these two steps if you dont want to change the working directory
ftp_chdir($conn_id, "wwwroot");
ftp_chdir($conn_id, "my_folder");
// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $FileName, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
if (!$upload) {
echo error="FTP upload has failed!";
ftp_close($conn_id);
return false;
} else {
ftp_close($conn_id);
return $FileName;
}
}
?>
