Description
bool
ftp_alloc ( resource ftp_stream, int filesize [, string &result])
Sends an ALLO command to the remote FTP server to allocate filesize
bytes of space. Returns TRUE on success, or FALSE on failure.
Note:
Many FTP servers do not support this command. These servers may return a failure
code (FALSE) indicating the command is not supported or a success code (TRUE)
to indicate that pre-allocation is not necessary and the client should continue
as though the operation were successful. Because of this, it may be best to reserve
this function for servers which explicitly require preallocation.
A textual representation of the servers response will be returned by reference in
result is a variable is provided.
Example 1. ftp_alloc() example |
<?php
$file = "/home/user/myfile";
$conn_id = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, 'anonymous', 'user@example.com');
if (ftp_alloc($conn_id, filesize($file), $result)) {
echo "Space successfully allocated on server. Sending $file.\n";
ftp_put($conn_id, '/incomming/myfile', $file, FTP_BINARY);
} else {
echo "Unable to allocate space on server. Server said: $result\n";
}
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
