uploading files to remote ftp servers

Hi,

How can I allow a user to upload a file to a remote ftp site?

I know how to make the file be uploaded to the same server as the php
script that I want to use, but not to a remote server. Im doing this
using the following code:

$uploaddir = realpath("upload/")."/";
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
if  (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile'][
'tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
// successful upload
}


I found this example on the net:

$file = fopen ("ftp://ftp.example.com/incoming/outputfile", "w");
if (!$file) {
echo "<p>Unable to open remote file for writing.\n";
exit;
}
/* Write the data here. */
fputs ($file, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "\n");
fclose ($file);


but how do I modify this to "put" a file from the users HD onto the
remote ftp site?


Thanks!

Andrew

You let the user upload the file first to your server and store it to a
temp, then you open the ftp uploader and send it there yourself, with the
script you have. Use a multipart form that has a file field as an interface
for the user. See handling file uploads from the manual for details.

Do i need to remove the temp file after uploading or will a gc get it?
Don't want to clog the servers tmp directory


Thanks

"The file will be deleted from the temporary directory at the end of the
request if it has not been moved away or renamed. "

Told you to read the manual, didn't I?
