ftp_nb_fget

Definition and usage

ftp_nb_fget() function downloads a file from the FTP server and saves it to a locally opened file (non-blocking).

This function returns the following values:

• FTP_FAILED (send/receive failed)
• FTP_FINISHED (send/receive completed)
• FTP_MOREDATA (send/receive in progress)

Unlike ftp_fget() , this function gets the file asynchronously. This means that your program can perform other actions when the file is downloaded.

Example

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

 <?php
$source = "source.txt" ;
$target = fopen ( "target.txt" , "w" ) ;

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

ftp_nb_fget ( $conn , $target , $source , FTP_ASCII ) ;

ftp_close ( $conn ) ;
?>
