I am trying to copy file from remote UNIX server to folder on 'C drive' on PC that is running webserver. I can copy to folder in htdocs on webserver, but what is the correct syntax to set path for download to folder 'POS' on C drive. The following path does not work...
This is my personal project - not 'commercial' (hi Aero! :) )
// path to remote file
$remote_header_file = 'PO'.$ponumber.'H';
$remote_detail_file = 'PO'.$ponumber.'D';
// path to local file
$local_file = 'C:/POS';
// open file to write to
$handle = fopen($local_file, 'w');
// download $remote_header_file and save it to $handle
if (ftp_fget($conn_id, $handle, $remote_header_file, FTP_ASCII, 0)) {
echo "$remote_header_file successfully written to $local_file\n at $time";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while downloading $remote_header_file to $local_file\n";
}

Are you getting any errors? Run this function by it self outside of the if statement and see what it returns
ftp_fget($conn_id, $handle, $remote_header_file, FTP_ASCII, 0);
I don't know if it matters but you may have to switch your slashes though I think windows does both.
$local_file = 'C:\POS';

Thanks Aero -
I have now amended the code slightly, and the two files are being saved fine in 'C:/POS'. My only problem now is that they are being saved by the string name, i.e., $remote_header_file and $remote_detail_file.
I will have to keep tinkering... When I echo the string name, it prints the correct file name, ie. PO51234H and PO51234D.... odd!
// path to remote file
$remote_header_file = 'PO'.$ponumber.'H';
$remote_detail_file = 'PO'.$ponumber.'D';
$local_file_header = 'C:/POS/$remote_header_file';
$local_file_detail = 'C:/POS/$remote_detail_file';
// open file to write to
$handleH = fopen($local_file_header, 'w');
// download $remote_header_file and save it to $handle
if (ftp_fget($conn_id, $handleH, $remote_header_file, FTP_ASCII, 0)) {
echo "$remote_header_file successfully written to $local_file\n at $time";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while downloading $remote_header_file to $local_file\n";
}
?>

<?php
$handleD = fopen($local_file_detail, 'w');
// download $remote_detail_file and save it to $handle
if (ftp_fget($conn_id, $handleD, $remote_detail_file, FTP_ASCII, 0)) {
echo "$remote_detail_file successfully written to $local_file\n at $time";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while downloading $remote_detail_file to $local_file\n";
}
ftp_close($conn_id);

You need to use double quotes if you want the variables to parse. Try this
$local_file_header = "C:/POS/$remote_header_file";
$local_file_detail = "C:/POS/$remote_detail_file";
or you can do this
$local_file_header = 'C:/POS/'.$remote_header_file;
$local_file_detail = 'C:/POS/'.$remote_detail_file;
