issuing command in ftp session
I have the following script:
PHP Code:
<?php
$ftp_server = "server";
$command = 'dir';
$ftp_user_name = "zzz";
$ftp_user_pass = "cccc";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

if ($res = ftp_exec($conn_id, $command)) {
   echo "$command executed successfully<br />\n";
   echo nl2br($res);
} else {
   echo 'could not execute ' . $command;
}

?>


It connects without a problem but I get the error:

Quote:
Warning: ftp_exec(): Unknown command. in /home/epanagio/php/ftp/exec_command.php on line 10
could not execute dir


If I try to ftp using a shell I can issue the "dir" command and get a listing of the directory.

Thanks

dir is a windows command - just a sanity check, but your server is on windows, correct?

Yes, It is a Windows 2000 server.
