PHP ftp_nb_get() Function


PHP FTP Reference Complete PHP FTP Reference

Definition and Usage

The ftp_nb_get() function gets a file from the FTP server and saves it to a local 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_get(), this function retrieves the file asynchronously. This means your program can perform other operations while the file is being downloaded.

Syntax

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

Parameter Description
ftp_connection Required. Specifies the FTP connection to use
local Required. Specifies where to save the file. If this file already exists, it will be overwritten
remote Required. Specifies the path of the file to copy from
mode Required. Specifies the transfer mode. The possible values are:
  • FTP_ASCII
  • FTP_BINARY
resume Optional. Specifies where in the remote file to start copying


Example

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

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

ftp_nb_get($conn,"target.txt","source.txt",FTP_ASCII);
