Error 000webhost FTP: ftp_put()
can't open that file, no such file or directory
If you're experiencing an error while using 000webhost's FTP service, specifically with the ftp_put()
function, you're not alone. The error message "can't open that file, no such file or directory" can be frustrating, but don't worry, we've got you covered.
What's causing the error?
There are several reasons why you might encounter this error. Here are some possible causes:
1. File Path Issues
Make sure the file path you're trying to upload is correct. Double-check the directory and file name to ensure they exist and are correctly specified.
2. Permissions Issues
Ensure that the FTP user has the necessary permissions to read and write files in the specified directory.
3. File Doesn't Exist
Verify that the file you're trying to upload actually exists on your local machine.
Troubleshooting Steps
To resolve the issue, try the following steps:
1. Check File Path and Name
Verify that the file path and name are correct. Use an FTP client like FileZilla to check the remote directory and file structure.
2. Check Permissions
Ensure the FTP user has the necessary permissions to upload files. You can check the permissions in the 000webhost control panel.
3. Check File Existence
Verify that the file exists on your local machine. If the file doesn't exist, create it or upload a different file.
Solution
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try the following:
1. Use an Absolute Path
Instead of using a relative path, try using an absolute path to specify the file location.
2. Use ftp_chdir()
Use the ftp_chdir()
function to change the directory before uploading the file.
3. Check FTP Connection
Verify that the FTP connection is stable and active.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ftp_put()
error and successfully upload your file using 000webhost's FTP service.
