ftp_nb_put

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

ftp_nb_putStores a file on the FTP server (non-blocking)

Description

ftp_nb_put ( resource $ftp_stream , string $remote_file , string $local_file [, int $mode = FTP_BINARY [, int $startpos = 0 ]] ) : int

ftp_nb_put() stores a local file on the FTP server.

The difference between this function and the ftp_put() is that this function uploads the file asynchronously, so your program can perform other operations while the file is being uploaded.

Parameters

ftp_stream

The link identifier of the FTP connection.

remote_file

The remote file path.

local_file

The local file path.

mode

The transfer mode. Must be either FTP_ASCII or FTP_BINARY.

startpos

The position in the remote file to start uploading to.

Return Values

Returns FTP_FAILED or FTP_FINISHED or FTP_MOREDATA.

Changelog

Version Description
7.3.0 The mode parameter is now optional. Formerly it has been mandatory.
