Angry ftp_get function
It is my understanding that the ftp_get will transfer a file from the ftp site ONLY to the server on which the script is running.... My question is... What good is that if you can't save it to the local hard drive of the user??? Am I missing something here? Is there a way to save a file to the users local hard drive? Any help would be appreciated...

thanx

Here is the spec for ftp_get:

Quote:
bool ftp_get ( resource ftp_stream, string local_file, string remote_file, int mode [, int resumepos])


ftp_get() retrieves remote_file from the FTP server, and saves it to local_file locally. The transfer mode specified must be either FTP_ASCII or FTP_BINARY.


I think you are not understanding how this works maybe:

local = where the script is running
remote = where you are downloading from
client = the browser client

So, what is it you are trying to do exactly, and how would you like it to work?

well, i'm using the code from the "Building An FTP Client with PHP" from this site (with a few modifications for my ftp site), and it works great except when I click on a file to download, it puts the file I am downloading on the hard drive of the computer running my webserver (Apache), not on my local drive (where I am running the webpage from).
