Allocate space for a file and then upload it to the FTP server.
| <?php // connect and login to FTP server $ftp_server = “ftp.example.com”; $ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die(“Could not connect to $ftp_server”); $login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass); $file = “/test/myfile”; // allocate space if (ftp_alloc($ftp_conn, filesize($file), $result)) { echo “Space allocated on server. Sending $file.”; ftp_put($ftp_conn, “/files/myfile”, $file, FTP_BINARY); } else { echo “Error! Server said: $result”; } // close connection ftp_close($ftp_conn); ?> |
The ftp_alloc() function reserves space for a file to be uploaded to the FTP server.
Note: This command is not supported by many FTP servers!
