Access specific folder on FTP with PHP

Question

Im using below code to download an .csv file from an ftp. which works if the file is placed in root - but I need to access it on a subfolder. How do I do this?

$source = "myfile.csv";
$target = fopen("myfile.csv", "w");
$conn = ftp_connect("ftp.mysever.com") or die("Could not connect");
ftp_login($conn,"user","pass");
ftp_fget($conn,$target,$source,FTP_ASCII);
echo "file downloaded.\n";

You can specify full path to folder in which file is.

$source = "path".DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR."to".DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR."subfolder".DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR."myfile.csv";
$target = fopen("myfile.csv", "w");
$conn = ftp_connect("ftp.mysever.com") or die("Could not connect");
ftp_login($conn,"user","pass");
ftp_fget($conn,$target,$source,FTP_ASCII);
echo "file downloaded.\n";

FYI when using backward-slash you actually escaping t,s and m, same as you would write \t\r\n in double quoted string and converting it to tab, new-line

Hmm - I can´t get that to work. Do i need to use an absolut path or something? Tried $target = fopen("subfolder\myfile.csv", "w");

Hi @DivyeshPrajapati - cant get it to work - I changed subfolder to the subfolder on root, do I need change the other directory separators as well?
