Php Ftp

[ccurle]

I am trying to transfer a folder with files from server to another.

I found a script online and it sort of works. What it does is copy files from the root folder (which it shouldn't) and puts into the folder I am trying to copy from.

What I need is it to copy from the $ftproot into the $srcroot/$srcela folder.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

PHP Code:

// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// THE TRIGGER
// --------------------------------------------------------------------

// set the various variables
$ftproot = "/mnt/channel/Upload/16_2/";
$srcroot = "/var/www/html/slides/";
$srcrela = "16_2/";

// connect to the destination FTP & enter appropriate directories both locally and remotely
$ftpc = ftp_connect("localhost");
$ftpr = ftp_login($ftpc,"username","password");

if ((!$ftpc) || (!$ftpr)) { echo "FTP connection not established!"; die(); }
if (!chdir($srcroot)) { echo "Could not enter local source root directory."; die(); }
if (!ftp_chdir($ftpc,$ftproot)) { echo "Could not enter FTP root directory."; die(); }

// start ftp'ing over the directory recursively
ftpRec ($srcrela);

// close the FTP connection
ftp_close($ftpc);

// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// THE ACTUAL FUNCTION
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
function ftpRec ($srcrela) {
    global $srcroot;
    global $ftproot;
    global $ftpc;
    global $ftpr;

    // enter the local directory to be recursed through
    chdir($srcroot.$srcrela);

    // check if the directory exists & change to it on the destination
    if (!ftp_chdir($ftpc,$ftproot.$srcrela)) {
        // remote directory doesn't exist so create & enter it
        ftp_mkdir ($ftpc,$ftproot.$srcrela);
        ftp_chdir ($ftpc,$ftproot.$srcrela);
    }

    if ($handle = opendir(".")) {
        while (false !== ($fil = readdir($handle))) {
            if ($fil != "." && $fil != "..") {
                // check if it's a file or directory
                if (!is_dir($fil)) {
                    // it's a file so upload it
                    ftp_put($ftpc, $ftproot.$srcrela.$fil, $fil, FTP_BINARY);
                } else {
                    // it's a directory so recurse through it
                    if ($fil == "templates") {
                        // I want the script to ignore any directories named "templates"
                        // and therefore, not recurse through them and upload their contents
                    } else {
                        ftpRec ($srcrela.$fil."/");
                        chdir ("../");
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        closedir($handle);
    }
}

Ive got no idea but If I was doing it I would probably use simple file reading and writing. Its no fuss

With what I am doing, it is a fuss.

Looks like you've just got the remote and local file paths backwards on the ftp_put() function.

whilst I am one of the biggest culprits for trying to use PHP for everything ... surely this would be a better job for rsync or unison or similar ?

I can't use those. I am trying to build an app that moves files when needed.

I need to find a way of copying a directory from one server to another.

The above sort of works, but copies the wrong things.
