ftp_put(), problem with relative path

Hello

I would like to upload a file:
script php with ftp_put() is on the: /public_html/mleko/ftp.php
source file is on the /public_html/mleko/temp.txt
remote file should be uploaded to /public_ftp/mleko/uploadedfile.txt

could you please tell me what is wrong with code as below:

PHP Code:

---

$result = ftp_put( '/public_ftp/mleko/uploadedfile.txt', 'temp.txt', FTP_ASCII ); 


---

I receive an error:
"... no such file or directory ... "

thanks in advance

Have no experience in this field but my guess is that the default directory is not where temp.txt is located. Are you calling/running ftp.php from another dir?

Very simple, you're accessing a directory that isn't there...exactly what the message says. Make sure the path you're writing to already exists and the root directory you're starting from is correct.

The root directory is the one defined in a configuration file of Apache (if that's your server), and it is likely it is different from the root directory of the hard drive.
Personnally, I avoid troubles by using relative paths (a relative path is a path that does not start with "/").

thanks for the reply,

could you please give me the example, what my ftp_put() function parameter should be

to clarify:

• 
  my ftp.php script ( which includes ftp_put() ) is located on the:
  /public_html/mleko/ftp.php

• 
  my file which need to be uploaded is located on the:
  /public_html/mleko/tmp.txt

• 
  I need to upload the tmp.file to:
  /public_ftp/data/ftp.php

I did it as follows ( but the error '..no such file or directory ..' is generated

PHP Code:

---

$remote_path='/public_ftp/data/mleko/';
//$remote_path='../../public_ftp/data/mleko/'; // also doesn't work
$local_file_name='tmp.txt';
$new_file_name='uploaded.txt';
$result = ftp_put($remote_path . $new_file_name,  $local_file_name,  FTP_ASCII );

thank you in advance

I solved ...

$remote_path must be RELAVIVE PATH TO YOUR LOGIN DIRECTORY
I have change my login directory and now it works OK !

this is OK
$remote_path='../../public_ftp/data/mleko/';
but the ftp login directory must be to the 'root' ( / )
