Hi,

Is it possible to upload a file, via a web form, to your server using ftp with php?

To explain a little further, I have a project that I want someone to work on for me with php. Basically it involves users uploading mp3 files to our server via their control panel on our website. Now, I have heard that using the 'normal' php method uses the system memory and will cause problems if large files are being uploaded. My users will be uploading upto 100MB of data at a time, so I guess this would cause problems!

I have also heard that it's possible to upload via ftp from within php.

However, the guy I have in mind to create/modify the script for me says "you can't upload from the user's computer to your website via FTP with PHP.. (PHP can only send the file from your server to another server via FTP)"

Is his statement true or should I be looking for someone else to work on this project??

Thanks in advance!

yes, it can be posible, look at orgfree.com domain, and you can login if you are member and control your site by ftp that is in internet, maked on PHP... so it is possible..
Some of the actions are:
-upload form
-directory listing
-manage directories
- set permissions
-change names
-file executions

okay thanks, so it can be done.

cool.

Loon-OGame, can you tell us a little bit more details of how to upload big file (~100Mb) from website?

Sorry, missed that last post. I'd be interested in learning more about this, or links to pages with more info.

The guy I've been speaking to seems convinced that all you can do with php is upload 'normally'. The only ftp related php commands and to transfer files from your server to another etc.
