Ftp Script Problems - Authentication Failure

[beeseven 0]

I uploaded the code as a text file because it's pretty big:

As I said it can't login. I get this error:

Warning: ftp_login(): Authentication failed, sorry in /home/beeseven/public_html/ftp.php on line 45

I think it might have something to do with character encoding, but I'm not sure. If you think it is, what kind of encoding would work as if I typed it directly? I tried putting it in the file, but then I got the missing required fields error.

it's just what was displayed. just check your username and password. you should also change how you write your code for logging in. use this:

if (!ftp_login($ftpcon1, $username1, $password1)) }    print "Could not login to remote host</BODY></HTML>";}

you should also chekc your ftp server most of the ftp connections that fail in my scripts are usually as a result of a failure in the ftp server.

yes that's the common problem. but imo, it's his username and password. the warning came from ftp_login() which is after ftp_connect(). so he successfuly connected to his server but cannot login due to wrong username or password. it may be because it is using ftp through proxy authentication. ftp_login() has no support for it but i found a script for it.

 

function ftp_parse_response($response, &$errstr) {   if(!is_array($response)) {       $errstr    = 'Parameter \$response must be an array';        return false;   }          foreach($response as $r) {       $code    = substr(trim($r),0,3);       if(!is_numeric($code)) {           $errstr    = "$code is not a valid FTP code",$code);       }                  if($code > 400) {           $errstr    = $r;           return false;       }   }          return true;}$user = "user";$pass = "password";$host = "ftp.example.com";$proxyuser = "proxyuser";$proxypass = "proxypass";$proxyhost = "ftp.proxy.com";$conn_id = ftp_connect($proxyhost);if(!$conn_id) {   die("cannot connect to proxy");}$commands  = array(   "USER ".$user."@".$host."
