errors with ftp_get
Hey everyone. The manual doesnt go into much detail and no one seems to know much about ftp_get. Ill try my luck here.

PHP Code:
 $localfile = "/path/to/file/local.txt";
$remotefile = "/path/to/file/file.php";
$getback = ftp_get($this->connector, $localfile, $remotefile, FTP_ASCII); 


The problem seems to be with $localfile. It keeps given me this error:
ftp_get(): error opening /path/to/file/local.txt

Ive tried everything I could think of. I tried creating local.txt and I got the same warning. Then I tried creating it and chmod it 777. Same warning. I tried making $localfile and file handle and I got the same warning. Anyone know how this is supposed to work?

local file isn't a file, it's the location of where ftp_get will place the downloaded file. I would suggest making sure the permissions on the directory it is trying to write to are set properly.

did you try writing a normal file to that directory via php? if the problem is not limited to ftp, then it's a permissions issue, if it writes with no problem, then something is wrong with your ftp_get() line.
