Hello,

I created this PHP script (actually it came from my textbook). It apparently connects to the FTP site okay, but I cannot log on. The user name and password have been double-checked for typos, but for security reasons I cannot put them up here, so I just put "host.com", "user_name" and "password" here.

PHP Code:

<html> 
<head> 
  <title>LSR FTP Script</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
<h1>LSR FTP Script</h1>  
<?php 
// set up variables 
$host = 'host.com'; 
$user = 'user_name'; 
$password = 'password'; 
$remotefile = 'addendums.txt.gz'; 
$localfile = 'addendums.txt.gz'; 

// connect to host 
$conn = ftp_connect("$host");  
if (!$conn) 
{ 
  echo 'Error: Could not connect to ftp server<br />'; 
  exit; 
} 
echo "Connected to $host.<br />"; 

// log in to host 
$result = ftp_login($conn, $user, $pass); 
if (!$result) 
{ 
  echo "Error: Could not log on as $user<br />"; 
  ftp_quit($conn); 
  exit; 
} 
echo "Logged in as $user<br />"; 

echo 'Getting file from server...<br />'; 
$fp = fopen ($localfile, 'w'); 
if (!$success = ftp_fget($conn, $fp, $remotefile, FTP_BINARY)) 
{ 
  echo 'Error: Could not download file';  
  ftp_quit($conn); 
  exit; 
} 
fclose($fp); 
echo 'File downloaded successfully'; 

// close connection to host 
ftp_quit($conn); 

?> 
</body> 
</html>
Is there anything I can add to this script that will allow me to see exactly why the user name is not being accepted?

Also, if I use my browser to FTP to the FTP site, I CAN enter my user name and password, and can get into the FTP site fine.

The messages I receive when I attempt to connect to the FTP site using my PHP script are as follows:

-----
Connected to idx.fnismls.com..
Error: Could not log on as user_name
-----

Thanks in advance!
