dameunmate Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'm trying to create an online web editor. It works fine for opening and writing files on the same server where the web editor is hosted, but I want it to be able to get_file_contents, fopen and fwrite files on a remote server, logging in with ftp_connect and ftp_login. I've noticed the functions ftp_get and ftp_fget but I'd rather not create another local file, if possible I want to open the remote file directly into a <texarea> then save it directly back to the remote server. Is this possible? So far I just get errors... Here's an example of the code I'm trying to combine, to retrieve the contents of a file on a remote server and put them in a <textarea>: <?php $conn = ftp_connect("ftp.domain.com"); ftp_login($conn, "username", "password"); ftp_pasv($conn, true); $filename='example.php'; // open file $fh = fopen($filename, "r") or die("Could not open file!"); // read file contents $datax = fread($fh, filesize($filename)) or die("Could not read file!"); $data=htmlspecialchars($datax); // close file fclose($fh); // close this connection ftp_close($conn); echo '<textarea cols="200%" rows="50">'.$data.'</textarea>'; ?> And another failed example: <?php $filename='editor.php'; $fh = fopen("ftp://username:password@domain.com/example.php", "r") or die("Could not open file!"); $datax = fread($fh, filesize($filename)) or die("Could not read file!"); $data=htmlspecialchars($datax); fclose($fh); echo '<textarea cols="200%" rows="50">'.$data.'</textarea>'; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
