ftp File upload

php comes with a function package for ftp operation. A relatively simple ftp file upload operation can be completed through the following steps:

1. Confirm the ip address and port information of the ftp server (if you are using the default port, you don’t need to care);
2. Perform the ftp_connect operation and connect to the ftp server (you need to pay attention to whether the port parameter is set);
3. Perform the ftp_login operation and use the ftp username and password to log in;
4. The distinction begins here. If you only need to upload files and there are no other requirements, then you can perform the ftp_put operation of file upload here; if If there is a need to store uploaded files according to the directory, then continue downward;
5. Use ftp_nlist to obtain the directory and file names in the given ftp directory, and check whether the required directory exists. If it does not exist, ftp_mkdir is required to create the directory;
6. Switch to ftp_chdir in the target directory;
7. Perform ftp_put operation to upload files;
8. Perform ftp_close to close the ftp connection.

In order to upload files according to the date format directory in ftp, make a simple code implementation:

        

         Copy after login
        
       

Print:

root@webdevelop232:~/liang/ftp# php ftp.php connect success login success /home/uftp Array ( [0] => /home/uftp/Kalimba.mp3 [1] => /home/uftp/test.txt ) 20170721 mkdir 20170721 success chdir 20170721 success upload file success

You can see that the printing operation is successful. Now go to the ftp server directory and you can see the uploaded file.
