Re: PHP - Moving files between iSeries and other servers

["Kelly Cookson" <KCookson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks. I want to focus on FTP first, since that's what we currently use
most of the time. I will work on the filesystem classes later.

I'll continue this with you at the Zend Forums.

Thanks,
Kelly

Kelly,

With QNTC the username/password have to be the same for both systems, 
the PHP is (or should be) running as NOBODY on the 400 (with no password

I think) so you might have to call an RPG that would switch user 
profiles then do the transfer maybe?
Or call an RPG that does the FTP, check out
http://www.tylogix.com/
or

I just responded to your post on the Zend forums also,

I don't have access to the 400 right now, but you can try this to see if

FTP from PHP is even available. (I wasn't able to test this)

<?php
if (function_exists('ftp_connect'))
{
    echo "FTP functions exist";
}
else
{
    echo "No FTP functions available.";
}
?>


Let us know what you find.
