RE: PHP, libcURL, and FTP login problems

I actually got it to work right after I sent the e-mail out.  That seems to always be how it goes with me and PHP.  I have to ask somebody before it starts to work.

Thanks for your response though, Stephen! :)

I'm guessing you have your target URL set up now as user:[email protected]<mailto:user%[email protected]> . As far as:
Is there a better way to add in the username and password
I think you can use CURLOPT_USERPWD, with value "test:test", although since it works essentially the same way I don't think it will help.
FWIW, I tried the code you mentioned on my server and (having corrected one typo) it worked. Although it's not really a cURL solution, you might have better luck with the native PHP FTP library, which is well-documented over at php.net<http://php.net>.

Greetings, list

I am a bit of a neophyte when it comes to heavy-duty web programming (which this is not), so please bear with me.

I have a bit of code that is supposed to take a user's uploaded file and, using libcURL, send it to a remote server which has an FTP set up.  The FTP uses a username and password, and is not set to receive anonymous connections.  The code that I am using is pretty much an exact copy of the example code on the cURL site (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/examples/ftpupload.html) except that it is die($error)-ing on errors at the moment while I test.

I set the FTP URL to make sure I have that right, and I get the error I was expecting: login denied (67).  So far, so good.  The problem comes in when I uncomment the username and password; then, instead of a "could not log in" error, I am for some reason getting a "could not resolve host" error (6).  I have tried hard-cording the username/password instead of using the variables, removing the { } from the $remoteurl, and commenting out and removing the remotepath, none of which did anything.

Is there a better way to add in the username and password, and/or can anybody figure out why it's doing this?  Cheers. :)

(I am on Windows Server 2003, IIS6, and PHP 5.2.6, if that is germane.)
