Upload a file to a server using FTP using php

Question

How do I a upload a file to xampp server using FTP and php?

<?php
// connect and login to FTP server
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);

$file = "localfile.txt";

// upload file
if (ftp_put($ftp_conn, "serverfile.txt", $file, FTP_ASCII))
  {
  echo "Successfully uploaded $file.";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Error uploading $file.";
  }

// close connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);
?>

Thats all I found. Can't create my own server and access it.

Have you create an FTP account on your server? You need to setup FTP properly and need to add a user before this solution works for you. — Rehmat

$file = "localfile.txt";
$tmp_name = $file["tmp_name"];
$name = $file["name"];
define ('SITE_ROOT', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));  <-- Goes to current folder where your files is located.
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, SITE_ROOT."/FOLDERTOUPLOADTO/$name");

If you want to, I can give you a script where you can use multiple input files and put them in your FTP. Just contact me in a message. And this way, you don't need the FTP login and such.

First of you need to setup FileZilla in Xampp(this is for Windows)

Start Xampp and Start FileZilla server from the Control Panel and go to the C:\XAMPPFOLDER\FileZillaFTP
Start The server interface
Go to Edit->Users and add a new User
Use 127.0.0.1 as the server name 21 as the port and the added user and password as the login details
