(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)
Retrieves a file from the FTP server and writes it to a local file (non-blocking)
int ftp_nb_get ( resource $ftp_stream, string $local_file, string $remote_file, int $mode [, int $resumepos = 0 ] )
ftp_nb_get() retrieves a remote file from the FTP server, and saves it into a local file.
The difference between this function and ftp_get() is that this function retrieves the file asynchronously, so your program can perform other operations while the file is being downloaded.
Parameters:
ftp_stream
The link identifier of the FTP connection.
local_file
The local file path (will be overwritten if the file already exists).
remote_file
The remote file path.
mode
The transfer mode. Must be either FTP_ASCII or FTP_BINARY.
resumepos
The position in the remote file to start downloading from.
Returns:
Returns FTP_FAILED or FTP_FINISHED or FTP_MOREDATA.
Examples:
ftp_nb_get() example
<?php
// Initate the download
$ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "test", "README", FTP_BINARY);
while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {
// Do whatever you want
echo ".";
// Continue downloading...
$ret = ftp_nb_continue($my_connection);
}
if ($ret != FTP_FINISHED) {
echo "There was an error downloading the file...";
exit(1);
}
?>
Resuming a download with ftp_nb_get()
<?php
// Initate
$ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "test", "README", FTP_BINARY,
filesize("test"));
// OR: $ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "test", "README",
// FTP_BINARY, FTP_AUTORESUME);
while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {
// Do whatever you want
echo ".";
// Continue downloading...
$ret = ftp_nb_continue($my_connection);
}
if ($ret != FTP_FINISHED) {
echo "There was an error downloading the file...";
exit(1);
}
?>
Resuming a download at position 100 to a new file with ftp_nb_get()
<?php
// Disable Autoseek
ftp_set_option($my_connection, FTP_AUTOSEEK, false);
// Initiate
$ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "newfile", "README", FTP_BINARY, 100);
while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {
/* ... */
// Continue downloading...
$ret = ftp_nb_continue($my_connection);
}
?>
