Read File from another server using FTP in PHP

He Everyone,

I am trying to get files from FTP 1 to FTP 2 using FTP functions in PHP. I am able to locate the files and get the list too from FTP 2. But I do not know how can I copy those files to FTP 1. This is how far I have reached.

$ftp_server    = "********";
$ftp_user_name = "******";
$ftp_user_pass = "******";
$ftp_dir       = "*********";
$mode          = "list_xml_files";

$file_list = ftp_list_xml_files ($ftp_server,$ftp_user_name,$ftp_user_pass,$ftp_dir,$mode,$file);

print_r($file_list);
die;

Upto this point it is working perfectly and here is the output of $file_list

Array ( [0] => orders01-04-2014.xml [1] => orders02-04-2014.xml )

Now I want to place these two xmls on FTP 1... Any idea how can I copy both of them an d put them on my FTP 1?

Thanks

You could also use file_put_contents and fopen to do it.

<?php
    file_put_contents($save_location, fopen($filename, 'r'));
?>

And you could use that to download all the files you specified in the array using foreach:

<?php
    foreach($file_list as $filename)
        file_put_contents($save_location, fopen($filename, 'r'));
?>

And you would replace $save_location with a location on your server where you wish to download the file. Example:

$location = "{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/files/downloads";

Hope it helped.
