If you are looking for a sketchy sample implementation of an FTP client
written in PHP, here is a free one:

Be careful when using ftp_size; some ftp servers report different results
depending on whether you have issued a BINARY or ASCII command first.
This is a bit of a drag because there appears to be no way of issuing
either command with these functions. Instead you must specify the
desired transfer type with each ftp_get or ftp_put. Thus for some
servers you will get a different number of bytes actually transfered than
that reported by the ftp_size function....... Yuk....

In case that your ftp connection using php failed(error msg is ftpbuf()..)
add first line before setting up ftp
connection:
$conn_id=0;
$conn_id =
ftp_connect("$ftp_server");

connection to a ftp server across proxy
$ftp_server =
"proxy"; f.e. 123.456.789.10
$ftp_user_name =
"username@ftpserver"; f.e.
[email protected]
$ftp_user_pass =
"password";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server,
2121);
$login_result = ftp_login( $conn_id, $ftp_user_name,
$ftp_user_pass );

you can try using
set_time_limit(0); which will reset the
timeout.
to find out what has been completed at at the php script..
you can try using flush(); after echo.. which should display your messages
without having to wait for the script to finish
loading..
"..I've got this working fine but with slow sites
and when sending a batch of
files, the PHP times out! I am using a
commercial host so cannot tell them
to increase the PHP timeout and in
any case I think that isn't
appropriate.
I am thinking in terms
of first opening a connection and then sending each
file with a reload
of the page (using a parameter to increment the file to
be sent). This
could also give a "progress" indication rather
than
freezing.
Is this sensible or can anyone suggest a better
approach?
Thanks.
Neil..."

Si teneis como respuesta ftpbuf 0 probar esto para conectar:
$conn_id =
ftp_connect("127.0.0.1");
Parece absurdo pero me ha
funcionado en 2 servidores.
ftpbuf 0 ??? Try:
$conn_id =
ftp_connect("127.0.0.1");
It works!!

I think what some other posts were trying to say which may need
clarification is that in PHP 4.2.3, ftp_connect("myhost.com")
was failing most of the time, except it would work like every few
minutes.
The fix is that ftp_connect seems to have a bug resolving
addresses. If you do:
$hostip = gethostbyname($host);
$conn_id =
ftp_connect($hostip);
It seems to solve the problem.
(Other
users referred to an ftpbuf() error... not sure what that is, but this
should fix it.)

If you search for FXP (server to server FTP transfer), look at .
This
easy to use class is now able to do FXP transfer (v0.6.2) !!!!

if you need to download a file into a string instead of into a file try
this:
$temp = tmpfile();
$conn_id =
ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $user,
$pass);
$fget_result=ftp_fget($conn_id, $temp, $ftp_file_name,
FTP_ASCII);
ftp_quit($conn_id);
rewind
($temp);
$FILE_DATA=fread($temp,$size);
fclose($temp);
you
could also do this with fopen() but I found that using this function will
keep the connection open even after a fclose()!! So repeating this many
times will cause a lot of open ftp-connections.

While using ftp_rmdir($conn, $userdir);
I'm getting the following error
msg.
Unable to find ftpbuf 0
this message is showing where
ever $conn is being used.

There is no FTP command for the CHMODing of files, so you really have to do
it manually using ftp_exec(). I havn't tried this myself but I'm assuming
it should work, but here is an example of what I would do.
//After
we have connected to the FTP server
//and need to set the perms for a
file/dir, use
//this command
if (ftp_exec($ftp_conn, 'chmod 0666
logs/log.txt'))
echo 'Successfully set permissions for logs/log.txt
to 0666';
else
echo 'Failed to set permissions for
logs/log.txt';
Again, I have not tested this, but I assume it would
work. Hope that helps.

To chmod, you need to use ftp_site instead of ftp_exec.
In the
example above,
ftp_exec($ftp_conn, 'chmod 0666 logs/log.txt')
should be
ftp_site($ftp_conn, 'chmod 0666 logs/log.txt')
