Append a Local File to a Remote FTP File

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Ftp2.AppendFile method, which appends the contents of a local file to a remote file. The first argument is the local file path and the second is the remote file path. It uses the FTP APPE command.

Note: The local paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

<?php

use Chilkat2\Ftp2;

// Demonstrates the Ftp2.AppendFile method, which appends the contents of a local file to a remote
// file.  The 1st argument is the local file path and the 2nd is the remote file path.

$ftp = new Ftp2();

$ftp->Hostname = 'ftp.example.com';
$ftp->Username = 'myFtpLogin';

// Normally you would not hard-code the password in source.  You should instead obtain it
// from an interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
$ftp->Password = 'myPassword';

try {
    $ftp->Connect();

    // Uses the FTP APPE command.  On a server with normal APPE behavior, a missing remote file is
    // created; otherwise the local bytes are appended to the end of the existing remote file.
    $ftp->AppendFile('qa_data/today.log', 'logs/app.log');
