PHP ftp_nb_fget() Function

PHP FTP Reference Complete PHP FTP Reference

Definition and Usage

The ftp_nb_fget() function gets a file from the FTP server and saves it to an open file.

This function returns one of the following values:

  • FTP_FAILED (send/receive failed)
  • FTP_FINISHED (send/receive completed)
  • FTP_MOREDATA (send/receive in progress)

Unlike ftp_fget(), this function retrieves the file asynchronously. This means your program can perform other operations while the file is being downloaded.

Syntax

ftp_nb_fget(ftp_connection,local,remote,mode,resume)

Parameter Description

local Required. Specifies the open file to paste into

mode Required. Specifies the transfer mode. The possible values are:
  • FTP_ASCII

resume Optional. Specifies where in the remote file to start copying. Default is 0

Example

This example copies the text from "source.txt" into "target.txt":

<?php
$source = "source.txt";
$target = fopen("target.txt", "w");

$conn = ftp_connect("ftp.testftp.com") or die("Could not connect");
ftp_login($conn,"admin","ert456");

ftp_nb_fget($conn,$target,$source,FTP_ASCII);

ftp_close($conn);
?>
