upload a file using FTP and php

Question

I can't Upload the file using php because i can't send the path i got from the html file to the function FTP_PUT because it only takes string "test.txt"

How Can i send the Path to this function

PHP FILE

$file = $_POST["file"];

// upload file
if (ftp_put($ftp_conn, $file, $file, FTP_BINARY))
  {
  echo "Successfully uploaded $file.";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Error uploading $file.";
  }

// close connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);

<div class="container">
 
          <div class="row">
            <div class="col-lg-12">
               <form class="well" action="Upload.php" method="post" >
                  <div class="form-group">

Answer 1

Use $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] instead of $_POST["file"]

edit:

$file = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
$file_name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];

// upload file
if (ftp_put($ftp_conn, $file_name, $file, FTP_BINARY))

or move the uploaded file first:

$target_path = "uploads/".basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]); 
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $target_path);

Answer 2

Change your form tag to :

<form class="well" action="Upload.php" method="post"  enctype="multipart/form-data">

If you don't include

enctype="multipart/form-data"

Nothing will get uploaded!

Check that the path is correct... I don't know your file structure so I'm guessing you need the full path, try...

 if (ftp_put($ftp_conn, getcwd().$file, $file, FTP_BINARY)
