PHP5 - Connecting to ftp server and getting a list
Hello group.
I'm trying to connect to a ftp server and I'm not able to connect. I'm getting the Could not connect to nhc.noaa.gov.
Here's the code I'm using. Appreciate any suggestions. I've also tried using the IP address with the same result.
PHP Code:
$ftp_path="nhc.noaa.gov";
$conn = ftp_connect($ftp_path) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_path");
$ftp_user_name= "anonymous";
$ftp_user_pass= "someone@gmail.com";
$login_result = ftp_login($conn, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
ftp_chdir($conn, "/atcf/aid_public/");
print_r (ftp_rawlist($conn,"."));
ftp_close($conn);
Using google chrome, I can go to the url without a problem and get the file list.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Bryan

| You sure about that? I can't hit that FTP site with PHP, chrome, or an FTP client.

Yes, here's the link to the site for use in a browser. I'm not allowed to post links so I mangled it a little to show.
ftp :// ftp. nhc. noaa. gov/ atcf/ aid_public/

From your original post:

From the link you provided:

Don't you see the difference?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've tried every variation of the domain name with ftp in front, not in front etc...
Right now, I cannot even get to the ftp site again with my browser, but I could 30 minutes ago. Maybe there is a DNS issue. I've even tried to ping the ftp. nhc. noaa. gov site and do not get a response, but I do get a response from nhc. noaa. gov. Same situation with filezilla. It is hit and miss on connecting.
Would it be too much to ask to copy the code on your machine and run it to see if it works? Sorry if I'm asking too much... I know people's time is important....
Thanks for any other suggestion you might have.

If the site is down, FTP won't work.
Changing to ftp_connect('ftp.nhc.noaa.gov'); worked for me, again from PHP.

Reading your response earlier, I do see you said you tried the script...
Thanks for your help. Still no luck on my end with the script and the browser is very intermittent ... Seems like IE connects occasionally, but no luck with Chrome.
Hopefully this is a weekend maintenance thing with the server and not an ongoing problem.
Thanks again,
Bryan
