Not exactly. . . Every thing I have tried doesn't work. Maybe you can give it a shot and see if you can find the magic path?

"define this as per local system"

Looks like you'll need to figure out where your host puts the temporary uploaded files.

Not to sound rude, but good grief man! I am the host (said it a few times on this thread) :p Hence why I can't contact the host to find out where to put it (that would be an awkward conversation. . . lots of silence and some mumbling, likely). Again, I don't want to sound rude -- your the only one stickin' with this thread :). I will be setting up my computer as the server. Do I need to configure something, or look. . . somewhere in particular?

Regardless of who owns the server, you need to find out where your host [ie the hosting setup/system/configuration] actually places the data that is uploaded.
I don't know very much about server configurations, so not sure what I can suggest.

You could try to find where an uploaded file goes, just by looking for a new file when someone uploads it.

OIC. Sorry.

Is there anyone on DD that can build the script? I like to build all of my stuff myself, but I have been searching for months and haven't found a darn thing.

I found this to, if it helps anyone-- but I couldn't get it to work.

EDIT: I found this script:

Code:

<?php
// get FTP access parameters
$host = $_POST['host'];
$user = $_POST['user'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
$destDir = $_POST['dir'];
$workDir = "/usr/local/temp"; // define this as per local system

// get temporary file name for the uploaded file
$tmpName = basename($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);

// copy uploaded file into current directory
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $workDir."/".$tmpName)
 or die("Cannot move uploaded file to working directory");

// open connection
$conn = ftp_connect($host) or die ("Cannot initiate connection to
 host");

// send access parameters
ftp_login($conn, $user, $pass) or die("Cannot login");

// perform file upload
$upload = ftp_put($conn, $destDir."/".$_FILES['file']['name'],
 $workDir."/".$tmpName, FTP_BINARY);

// check upload status
// display message
if (!$upload) {
  echo "Cannot upload";
} else {
  echo "Upload complete";
}

// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn);

// delete local copy of uploaded file
unlink($workDir."/".$tmpName) or die("Cannot delete uploaded
 file from working directory -- manual deletion recommended");
?>

But what is this:
$workDir = "/usr/local/temp"; // define this as per local system
I can't figure out what it should be.
Can anyone help here?

Try %temp% ;)

(Only works on Windows)

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work.

Then try the root of your web folder, or don't enter anything at all.

Tried that already. Same things (even with full path or full url). I am REALLY thinking that I am missing something fundemental here. . . But I have no idea what. Can someone perhaps try to make it work, and then let me know what happened?
