如何从服务器上的ftp下载文件，然后使用其中的导入数据

Question

Hi I have build a script that downloads files from ftp account and then import data from them. However it works on localhost as after downloading files I save them on c drive and then read the files from there and process them. I need help to do this on live server. How can I achieve this and where can I store the files on server outside public_html folder.

I would really appreciate if someone can help me please. Thank you.

Answer 1

• Yes, it will be good to store the files outside public_html
• You can create download folder outside public_html using various tools. Log into you host provider account and use file manager tools there or else you can get an SSH credential for the host and create the folder using some SSH client
• Also give proper permission to the folder, so that we can write/ read from it.
• You can refer the location of the download folder from script using the script $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .(Replace public_html with down load folder name)
