FTP Class

-

Code Igniter's FTP Class permits files to be uploaded via FTP to your server.

+

Code Igniter's FTP Class permits files to be uploaded via FTP to your server. It also includes a "mirroring" function +that permits an local directory to be recreated remotely via FTP.

+ +

Initializing the Class

+ +

Like most other classes in Code Igniter, the FTP class is initialized in your controller using the $this->load->library function:

+ +$this->load->library('ftp'); +

Once loaded, the FTP object will be available using: $this->ftp

+ + +

Usage Examples

+ +

In this example a connection is opened to the FTP server, and a local file is read and uploaded in ASCII mode. The +file permissions are set to 755. Note: Setting permissions requires PHP 5.

+ + +$this->load->library('ftp');
+
+$config['hostname'] = 'ftp.your-site.com';
+$config['username'] = 'your-username';
+$config['password'] = 'your-password';
+$config['debug'] = TRUE;
+
+$this->ftp->connect($config);
+
+$this->ftp->upload('/local/path/to/myfile.html', '/public_html/myfile.html', 'ascii', 0775);
+
+$this->ftp->close(); + + + + +

In this example a list of files is retrieved from the server.

+ + +$this->load->library('ftp');
+
+$config['hostname'] = 'ftp.your-site.com';
+$config['username'] = 'your-username';
+$config['password'] = 'your-password';
+$config['debug'] = TRUE;
+
+$this->ftp->connect($config);
+
+$list = $this->ftp->list_files('/public_html/');
+
+print_r($list);
+
+$this->ftp->close(); + + +

In this example a local directory is mirrored on the server.

+ + + +$this->load->library('ftp');
+
+$config['hostname'] = 'ftp.your-site.com';
+$config['username'] = 'your-username';
+$config['password'] = 'your-password';
+$config['debug'] = TRUE;
+
+$this->ftp->connect($config);
+
+$this->ftp->mirror('/path/to/myfolder/', '/public_html/myfolder/');
+
+$this->ftp->close(); + + + +

Function Reference

+ +

$this->ftp->connect()

+ +

Connects and logs into to the FTP server. Connection preferences are set by passing an array +to the function, or you can store them in a config file.

+ + +

Here is an example showing how you set preferences manually:

+ + +$this->load->library('ftp');
+
+$config['hostname'] = 'ftp.your-site.com';
+$config['username'] = 'your-username';
+$config['password'] = 'your-password';
+$config['port']     = 21;
+$config['passive']  = FALSE;
+$config['debug']    = TRUE;
+
+$this->ftp->connect($config);
+ + +

Setting FTP Preferences in a Config File

+ +

If you prefer you can store your FTP preferences in a config file. +Simply create a new file called the ftp.php, add the $config +array in that file. Then save the file at config/ftp.php and it will be used automatically.

+ +

Available connection options:

+ + + + + +

$this->ftp->sconnect()

+ +

Secure FTP connect. This function is identical to the function above, except that it initiates a secure connection.

+ + +

$this->ftp->upload()

+ +

Uploads a file to your server. You must supply the local path and the remote path (with trailing slash), and you can optionally set the mode and permissions. +Example:

+ + +$this->ftp->upload('/local/path/to/myfile.html', '/public_html/myfile.html', 'ascii', 0775); + +

Mode options are:  ascii, binary, and auto (the default). If +auto is used it will base the mode on the file extension of the source file.

+ +

Permissions are available if you are running PHP 5 and can be passed as an octal value in the fourth parameter.

+ + +

$this->ftp->mkdir()

+ +

Lets you create a directory on your server. Supply the path ending in the folder name you wish to create, with a trailing slash:

+ + +// Creates a folder named "bar"
+$this->ftp->mkdir('/public_html/foo/bar/'); + + + +

$this->ftp->chmod()

+ +

Permits you to set file permissions. Supply the path to the file or folder you wish to alter permissions on:

+ + +// Chmod "bar" to 777
+$this->ftp->chmod('/public_html/foo/bar/', 0777); + + + +

$this->ftp->list_files()

+

Permits you to retrieve a list of files on your server returned as an array. You must supply +the path to the desired directory.

+ + +$list = $this->ftp->list_files('/public_html/');
+
+print_r($list); + + + +

$this->ftp->mirror()

+ +

Recursively reads a folder and everything it contains (including sub-folders) and creates a +mirror via FTP based on it. Whatever the directory structure of the original file path will be recreated on the server. +You must supply a source path and a destination path:

+ + +$this->ftp->mirror('/path/to/myfolder/', '/public_html/myfolder/'); + + + + +

$this->ftp->close();

+

Closes the connection to your server. It's recommended that you use this when you are finished uploading.
