FTP-BROWSE.PHP

This is the beginning of what could be a PHP FTP client. It connects to a server, logs in, and displays directory content using FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

I have placed a working sample here. It has been modified to take the login parameters as cookies. I have only tested this script using my Linux server. I don't know if it can be used to FTP into Windows.

<?
$host = "";
$user = "";
$password = "";

$ftp_connection = ftp_connect($host);

@ftp_login($ftp_connection, $user, $password);

$path = $HTTP_GET_VARS["path"];

$parent = substr($path, 0, strrpos($path, "/"));

$file_list = ftp_nlist($ftp_connection, $path);
?>


<? if($path != "") { ?>
<a href="<?= $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>?path=<?= $parent ?>">..</a>
<br />
<? } ?>

<? for($index = 0; $index < sizeof($file_list); $index++) { ?>

   <?
   $file_size = ftp_size($ftp_connection, $file_list[$index]);

   //Format the file name so that it doesn't include the full path.
   if($path == "")
      $file_name = $file_list[$index];
   else
      $file_name = substr($file_list[$index], strrpos($file_list[$index], "/") + 1,
                          strlen($file_list[$index]) -  strrpos($file_list[$index], "/"));
   ?>

   <? //Find out if it's a file or a directory. ?>
   <? if($file_size == -1) { ?>
   <a href="<?= $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>?path=<?= $file_list[$index] ?>"><? } ?>
   <?= $file_name ?><? if($file_size == -1) { ?></a><? } ?>
   <br />

<? } ?>

<?
ftp_close($ftp_connection);
?>
