online ftp client: ftp_get()?
ok, i have just created an experimental ftp client application located here:
http://terminal.x5788.net/ftp/
however, im having some problems..
i can easily connect to the server and list files along with allowing simple navigation through subdirs, however, i cant use ftp_get() to download a selected file....
the thing is, i dont really get the definitions of its parameters..
this is part of my code:
PHP Code:
if (isset($_GET['get']) && isset($_GET['fn']))
{
ftp_get($c_id, $lcldir . '/' . $_GET['fn'], '/home/' . $user . $_GET['get'], FTP_BINARY);
} 


and im not sure whether or not im setting them right.
pleaz help!

thanx!

hmm....im unfamiliar with what youre saying....ive used file_get_contents() in the past simply to display code or as a secondary type of include for non-php pages..and the thing is...how would the file permissions allow downloading from an external sites filesys path?

sorry, i just need a bit of a more explaination if you would

thanx

you would just use it like this

PHP Code:
 $file = file_get_contents('ftp://pass:user@host/path');
$handle = fopen('/path/to/save', 'w');
fwrite($handle, $file);
fclose($handle); 


may not work too good though, just a thought, and what errors are you getting trying to use to use ftp_get();?

oooo....i know what it is....
ok, well...the ftp_get() function simply downloads a file from a server to another one, and not to your desktop...
cuz i wanted to download the file to the desktop instead of to another place on my server...
