Alot of people have asked for VERY simple FTP functionality with PHP, so here it is. This class was designed with very simplistic transfers in mind. You simple create the class, get/send a file and then 'kill()' the object. It's that simple. I you find it useful.
Example:
//Get a file require("class.ftp.php"); //include library $f=new PHP_FTP('ftp.somesite.com', 'username', 'password'); //specify connect info $f->get('html/test.txt', 'c:/php/ftp/blah.txt'); //yes, tested on Windows $f->kill(); //optional destroy class method
//Send a file require("class.ftp.php"); $f=new PHP_FTP('ftp.somesite.com', 'username', 'password', 21); //optional port as 4th arg $f->send('c:/php/ftp/blah.txt', 'html/test.txt'); //yes, tested on Windows $f->kill();
//how to test for completion if(!$f->send('c:/php/ftp/blah.txt', 'html/test.txt')){ echo "File sent successfully!"; }else{ echo "Error sending file."; }
Notes: Remember to have all permissions set to their appropriate settings before using this class */
class PHP_FTP{
var $server=''; var $username=''; var $password=''; var $port=21; var $remote_dir='';
function PHP_FTP($server, $username='anonymous', $password='e@mail.com', $port=21){ $this->server=$server; $this->username=$username; $this->password=$password; $this->port=$port; }
function kill(){ if($this->conn) $this->disconnect(); unset($this); }
//interior function return_connection(){ $conn_id = @ftp_connect($this->server, $this->port) or die("Could not connect to FTP"); $login_result = @ftp_login($conn_id, $this->username, $this->password) or die("Could not login to FTP"); return $conn_id; }
require("class.ftp.php"); $f=new PHP_FTP('ftp.somesite.com', 'username', 'password', 21); //optional port as 4th arg $f->send('c:/php/ftp/blah.txt', 'html/test.txt'); //yes, tested on Windows $f->kill();
