<h1>FTP Class</h1>
60
61
<p>CodeIgniter's FTP Class permits files to be transfered to a remote server. Remote files can also be moved, renamed,
62
and deleted.  The FTP class also includes a "mirroring" function that permits an entire local directory to be recreated remotely via FTP.</p>
63
64
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong>&nbsp; SFTP and SSL FTP protocols are not supported, only standard FTP.</p>
65
66
<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
67
68
<p>Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the FTP class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
69
70
<code>$this->load->library('ftp');</code>
71
<p>Once loaded, the FTP object will be available using: <dfn>$this->ftp</dfn></p>
72
73
74
<h2>Usage Examples</h2>
75
76
<p>In this example a connection is opened to the FTP server, and a local file is read and uploaded in ASCII mode. The
77
file permissions are set to 755.</p>
78
79
<code>
80
$this->load->library('ftp');<br />
81
<br />
82
$config['hostname'] = 'ftp.example.com';<br />
83
$config['username'] = 'your-username';<br />
84
$config['password'] = 'your-password';<br />
85
$config['debug']	= TRUE;<br />
86
<br />
87
$this->ftp->connect($config);<br />
88
<br />
89
$this->ftp->upload('/local/path/to/myfile.html', '/public_html/myfile.html', 'ascii', 0775);<br />
90
<br />
91
$this->ftp->close();
92
93
</code>
94
95
96
<p>In this example a list of files is retrieved from the server.</p>
97
98
<code>
99
$this->load->library('ftp');<br />
100
<br />
101
$config['hostname'] = 'ftp.example.com';<br />
102
$config['username'] = 'your-username';<br />
103
$config['password'] = 'your-password';<br />
104
$config['debug']	= TRUE;<br />
105
<br />
106
$this->ftp->connect($config);<br />
107
<br />
108
$list = $this->ftp->list_files('/public_html/');<br />
109
<br />
110
print_r($list);<br />
111
<br />
112
$this->ftp->close();
113
</code>
114
115
<p>In this example a local directory is mirrored on the server.</p>
116
117
118
<code>
119
$this->load->library('ftp');<br />
120
<br />
121
$config['hostname'] = 'ftp.example.com';<br />
122
$config['username'] = 'your-username';<br />
123
$config['password'] = 'your-password';<br />
124
$config['debug']	= TRUE;<br />
125
<br />
126
$this->ftp->connect($config);<br />
127
<br />
128
$this->ftp->mirror('/path/to/myfolder/', '/public_html/myfolder/');<br />
129
<br />
130
$this->ftp->close();
131
</code>
132
133
134
<h1>Function Reference</h1>
135
136
<h2>$this->ftp->connect()</h2>
137
138
<p>Connects and logs into to the FTP server. Connection preferences are set by passing an array
139
to the function, or you can store them in a config file.</p>
140
141
142
<p>Here is an example showing how you set preferences manually:</p>
143
144
<code>
145
$this->load->library('ftp');<br />
146
<br />
147
$config['hostname'] = 'ftp.example.com';<br />
148
$config['username'] = 'your-username';<br />
149
$config['password'] = 'your-password';<br />
150
$config['port']&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; = 21;<br />
151
$config['passive']&nbsp;&nbsp;= FALSE;<br />
152
$config['debug']&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;= TRUE;<br />
153
<br />
154
$this->ftp->connect($config);<br />
155
</code>
156
157
<h3>Setting FTP Preferences in a Config File</h3>
158
159
<p>If you prefer you can store your FTP preferences in a config file.
160
Simply create a new file called the <var>ftp.php</var>,  add the <var>$config</var>
161
array in that file. Then save the file at <var>config/ftp.php</var> and it will be used automatically.</p>
162
163
<h3>Available connection options:</h3>
164
165
166
<ul>
167
<li><strong>hostname</strong> - the FTP hostname.  Usually something like:&nbsp; <dfn>ftp.example.com</dfn></li>
168
<li><strong>username</strong> - the FTP username.</li>
169
<li><strong>password</strong> - the FTP password.</li>
170
<li><strong>port</strong> - The port number. Set to <dfn>21</dfn> by default.</li>
171
<li><strong>debug</strong> - <kbd>TRUE/FALSE</kbd> (boolean). Whether to enable debugging to display error messages.</li>
172
<li><strong>passive</strong> - <kbd>TRUE/FALSE</kbd> (boolean). Whether to use passive mode.  Passive is set automatically by default.</li>
173
</ul>
174
175
176
177
<h2>$this->ftp->upload()</h2>
178
179
<p>Uploads a file to your server.  You must supply the local path and the remote path, and you can optionally set the mode and permissions.
180
Example:</p>
181
182
183
<code>$this->ftp->upload('/local/path/to/myfile.html', '/public_html/myfile.html', 'ascii', 0775);</code>
184
185
<p><strong>Mode options are:</strong>&nbsp; <kbd>ascii</kbd>, <kbd>binary</kbd>, and <kbd>auto</kbd> (the default). If
186
<kbd>auto</kbd> is used it will base the mode on the file extension of the source file.</p>
187
188
<p>Permissions can be passed as an <kbd>octal</kbd> value in the fourth parameter.</p>
189
190
<h2>$this->ftp->download()</h2>

196
197
<p><strong>Mode options are:</strong>&nbsp; <kbd>ascii</kbd>, <kbd>binary</kbd>, and <kbd>auto</kbd> (the default). If
198
<kbd>auto</kbd> is used it will base the mode on the file extension of the source file.</p>
199
200
<p>Returns FALSE if the download does not execute successfully (including if PHP does not have permission to write the local file)</p>
201
202
203

234
<b>everything</b> within the supplied path, including sub-folders and all files.  Make absolutely sure your path is correct.
235
Try using the <kbd>list_files()</kbd> function first to verify that your path is correct.</p>
