Can't use ftp_coonect to connect and copy

Hello;

I see a blank page and no files gets copied anywhere! What am I doing wrong?

PHP Code:


		
			
 error_reporting(-1);

$c = ftp_connect('ftp.flatmates.com') or die("Can't connect") ;

ftp_login($c,'...','...') or die('Can\'t login');

ftp_put($c,'about.php','about.php_copy', FTP_ASCII) or die('Can\'t copy');

ftp_close($c);

Code:

php > $c = ftp_connect('ftp.flatmates.com') or die("Can't connect") ; 
PHP Warning:  ftp_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in php shell code on line 1

Comments on this post

ptr2void agrees: Probably a good thing, what with the apparent broadcasting of his credentials

Hello Dan;
Would you please tell me why I don't get the warning you get?
Would it make a difference if I run the code from terminal?

@ptr2: Hey buddy my English is not the best. I assume you are being sarcastic aren't you? Are you asking for the credentials to my server? What is the point of your comment?

Thanks guys

No, you POSTED your credentials in your original post. requinix was kind enough to remove them before some random dude used them. Probably should still change them, in case someone grabbed them.

Is there anything else to the script? You only posted a few lines from it - I don't see any <?php or ?> tags. Could be there's a syntax error (or some other error) stopping execution.
Also, add an echo after the ftp_close() and look for that message.

Regarding the username and password, I removed them 16 hours after you posted. That's more than enough time for search engines to come here, grab the content, cache it, and serve it to anybody who uses the right search terms. Like ptr2void said you should definitely change them; at least the password, and not just for the FTP account but anywhere else you may use them too.

Hello gang;

A few things:

1 - I never put the correct server details in the forum. I always change them, same with the server location, domain name and others. But thank you for your concern and looking after me.

2 - I use the code below and I get no errors, I actually get the Copied message now but I can't see the file copied there in the folder. The folder exists and it is 777. Can anyone see what is wrong? Thank you

The code below prints:

Code:

Connected
Logged
Copied
1

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php error_reporting(-1);

$connected = ftp_connect('ftp.domainname.com') or die("Can't connect") ;

if($connected)

    {

        echo "Connected<br />";    

    }

else

    {

        echo "Can't connect<br />";    

    }

$logged = ftp_login($connected,'username','password') or die('Can\'t login');

if($logged)

    {

        echo "Logged<br />";    

    }

else

    {

        echo "Can't log in<br />";    

    }

$copy = ftp_put($connected,'copy_here','local_file.php', FTP_ASCII) or die('Can\'t copy');

if($copy)

    {

        echo "Copied<br />";    

    }

else

    {

        echo "Not Copied<br />";    

    }

echo ftp_close($c);?>

    {

    }

echo ftp_close($c);?>

Can anyone please answer this?

Thanks
