ftp class not working. - El Forum - 06-18-2011

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to use CI's FTP class to handle some files. I have configured the ftp config data correctly (I can confirm it is connecting), and I have set all file permissions to 777... but nothing! I can't move files, create directories, delete files, anything! I just get errors 'Unable to create the directory you have specified.' etc.

Additionally, I am able to create directories and manipulate files using traditional php methods (mkdir()) etc. But whenever I try to use any CI FTP commands using $this->ftp->xxx();
I get an error!!

I have run out of things I can think of that might be the problem.

Any ideas?

All suggestions welcome, thanks.

does your server require SFTP or SSL FTP? If so, that may be your problem. Per the docs, only standard ftp (non-secure) is supported.

Other than that, I may have to take a look at your code to see what may be other reasons.

Hi theprodigy,
Thanks for your reply, I've actually got this working now though. I was using an incorrect file path, duh!
