PHP ftp_nb_fget() Function

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)

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);
?>
