mixed Net_FTP::get (
string $remote_file
,
string $local_file
,
bool $overwrite = false
,
int $mode = null
)
This downloads a file from the FTP server to the computer your script runs on.
string $remote_file
- The file you'd like to download. This could either
be an absolute or relative path to a file (not a directory! see:
Net_FTP::getRecursive()).
string $local_file
-
The destination you'd like to download the file to (including filename, not directory!). You
can specify this with either an absolute path or a path relative to the scripts directory.
(Beware: The script directory is determined by the called script, if you use includes!)
bool $overwrite = false
-
Whether to overwrite the local file if it exists, or not. if not set the file will not be
overwritten.
int $mode = null
-
This has to be one of the constants FTP_ASCII or
FTP_BINARY. if not specified, the class will
try to determine the mode from the file extension (from extensions.ini) or
fall back to the standard transfer mode (attribute).
mixed
- true on success, otherwise PEAR::Error.
Several errors may be returned by get. The errornumber is unspecific (until now) and will not tell you anything about the errormessage. Possible errors are:
Error message | Description | Solution |
---|---|---|
Local file '$local_file' exists and may not be overwriten. | The local file you specified exists and you did not specify to overwrite it. | Set parameter $overwrite = true. |
Local file '$file' is not writeable. Can not overwrite. | You specified to overwrite the localfile. This did not work. | Maybe you don't have the permission to overwrite the file. Check the filepermissions. |
File '$remote_file' could not be downloaded to '$local_file'. | The download of the remote file failed. | This may have several reasons: Maybe the remote file does not exist or the local directory you wanted to download to does not exist or is not writeable. |
This function can not be called statically.
Using get()
<?php
var_dump($test->get('foo/bar.zip', '/tmp/downloaded.zip', true, FTP_BINARY));
