Using FTP from PHP CURL

I can't figure out how to use CURL's FTP, specifically, how to issue FTP commands from my PHP code:

<?php
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    curl_setopt($ch开发者_JS百科,CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE,array('CWD bussys/','LIST')); /* ?!! */

    echo '<hr><pre>'.htmlspecialchars(curl_exec($ch)).'</pre><hr>';
?>

In my example above I want to get a directory listing of bussys, but instead I get a listing of the main (FTP root) directory.

By the way, I tried the following combinations:

• LIST bussys/
• CWD bussys, LIST -a

---

I searched for a way to change working directory also, but couldn't find anything.

What ultimately worked for me was including the folder in the CURLOPT_URL. Additionally, the folder alone wasn't enough, I had to include a trailing forward slash /.

So if what worked for me will work for you, then setting the following url structure and CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY should get you the contents of bussys/.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY, TRUE);

And I didn't need the CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE CWD option to get the nested directories contents.

If you want to work with curl, use CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST options.

See below example code.

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://192.168.0.129");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "sru:sru");
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1) ;
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'CWD /a'); // change directory
curl_exec($curl);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'MLSD'); // get directory list
$ftp_result=curl_exec($curl);
echo $ftp_result;

It returns

type=dir;modify=20130319024302; test

test is sub directory of a.

I think you have to use ftp_connect rather.
