i have a php script that should take a file from one web server and upload it on another, when i run the script through a browser it works fine. when i use this cronjob it doesn't upload.
51 14 * * * /usr/bin/php /kunden/homepages/25/d515048961/htdocs/FTP_Orders.php
is there something i am missing? the times are arbitrary, i am just testing it out.
the PHP script is:
<?php
// FTP access parameters
$host = 'paperlinx.co.uk';
$usr = '[email protected]';
$pwd = '######';
// file to move:
$local_file = './db_export_orders_2014-10-27.csv';
$ftp_path = '/exported/db_exported_orders_2014-10-27.csv';
// connect to FTP server (port 21)
$conn_id = ftp_connect($host, 21) or die ("Cannot connect to host");
// send access parameters
ftp_login($conn_id, $usr, $pwd) or die("Cannot login");
// turn on passive mode transfers (some servers need this)
ftp_pasv ($conn_id, true);
// perform file upload
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $ftp_path, $local_file, FTP_ASCII);
// check upload status:
print (!$upload) ? 'Cannot upload' : 'Upload complete';
print "\n";
/*
** Chmod the file (just as example)
*/
// If you are using PHP4 then you need to use this code:
// (because the "ftp_chmod" command is just available in PHP5+)
if (!function_exists('ftp_chmod')) {
//print "in not function exists";
function ftp_chmod($ftp_stream, $mode, $filename){
return ftp_site($ftp_stream, sprintf('CHMOD %o %s', $mode, $filename)) or die ("i'm stuck here");
}
}
/* else
// try to chmod the new file to 666 (writeable)
if (ftp_chmod($conn_id, 0666, $ftp_path) !== false)
{
print $ftp_path . "chmoded successfully to 666\n";
}
else
{
print "could not chmod $file\n";
}
*/
// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
I'm really stuck with this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
