How to fix connection not established error for FTP connection code?

[omerbutt]

hi everyone,
i am having a problem while connecting to a particular server where i have to transfer the files the code works everywhere else but with this ftp it gives me warning as follows,

Warning: ftp_login() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in D:\xam
pp\htdocs\ews\projects\whatever-tiff\vanguard\stage\batch-upload.php on line 26
FTP connection not established!

One thing that when i tried to connect it VIA CUTEFTP it did not connected until i specified the
PROTOCOL TYPE =FTP WITH TLS/SSL (PORT 990 - Implicit)

here is the code that is working perfectly

include("includes/config-batch.php");
include("includes/ftp.trans.php");
$myFtp=new Ftp();
 
/*BATCH UPLOAD PROCESS*/
 
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// THE TRIGGER
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  // set the various variables
   $myFtp->ftproot    =    "/Folder1/Sub-folder/hbw/";
   $myFtp->srcroot    =    "D:/xampp/htdocs/ews/projects/whatever-tiff/";
 
   // connect to the destination FTP & enter appropriate directories both locally and remotely
   $myFtp->ftpc = ftp_connect("sslftp.nyc.gov");
   $myFtp->ftpr = ftp_login($myFtp->ftpc,"user","pass");
 
    if((!$myFtp->ftpc) || (!$myFtp->ftpr)) { 
        echo "FTP connection not established!\r\n"; die(); 
    }else{echo "FTP connection established!\r\n";}
      if (!chdir($myFtp->srcroot)) { 
        echo "Could not enter local source root directory.\r\n"; die(); 
    }else{echo "Entered local source root directory!\r\n";}
       if(!ftp_chdir($myFtp->ftpc,$myFtp->ftproot)) { 
        echo "Could not enter FTP root directory.\r\n"; die(); 
    }else{echo "Entered FTP root directory!\r\n";}
     return;
   // start ftp'ing over the directory recursively
   $res=$myFtp->getBatchFiles($conn);
    echo $res."\r\n";
   if($res){
           echo "All File(s)transffered\r\n";
   }else{
           //echo "The File(s) could not be transferred to the remote location \r";
        echo "There are no File(s) to be transferred to the remote location \r\n";
   }
 
   // close the FTP connection
   ftp_close($myFtp->ftpc);
   echo "Operation Completed.....Exiting Now\r\n";
 

[code green]

$myFtp->ftpc = ftp_connect("sslftp.nyc.gov");

must be returning false

[omerbutt]

Yes it is returning False, what could it be ....something to do with the hosting end ..??..although it is connected via CUTEFTP...i even tried specifying the port num also
like 21,22,24,990 ,but it is always returning false.

[code green]

21,22,24,990
This is not the port number it is the ip address.
Should be '.' not ',' and needs to be in quotes also

ftp_connect('21.22.24.990')

Test port with

fopen('ftp://21.22.24.990') or http://... 

Is the port number definitely 21?

[omerbutt]

lol no Green i was trying to tell that i have tried different combinations of the port for the port parameter in ftp_connect like the following

$myFtp->ftpc = ftp_connect("sslftp.nyc.gov",21);
 
$myFtp->ftpc = ftp_connect("sslftp.nyc.gov",22);
 
$myFtp->ftpc = ftp_connect("sslftp.nyc.gov",24);
 
$myFtp->ftpc = ftp_connect("sslftp.nyc.gov",990);
 
 

i surely am not that MoNkEy to do such a mistake Green :D , but may be the typo made you think like that , hope you get what i was trying to tell ...i havenot tried to specify the port number before , as it embeds the 21 as the parameter for port number automatically if not specified

I have found using DNS to be unreliable with ftp_connect().
So persevere using 21.22.24.990.
Test this with cuteFTP. Is it correct?
I have never needed to define port 21.
