John Saman

This class can synchronize files and folders over FTP.

It connects to a given FTP server and it knows how to synchronize files of a local folder with the remote files of a folder in the FTP server.

The class only copies the new and modified local files to the remote server after last time folder synchronization was run.

It can also exclude a given list of directories and files from being synchronized.

include_once 'ftp_sync.php';

$ftpServer='hostname';
$ftpUsername='username';
$ftpPassword='password';

//max simulatnous connections. the more of this number the faster synchronization will be but if set to high number it'll be aborted by FTP server probably so try to keep it in between.
//Note: if it's getting connection refused error try to set this number to low number usually 5 should be fine.
$maxConnections=5;

//a comma separated list of folder names or file names - full name is required
$exclude_list='cache,template_c';

$sync=new FTPSync($ftpServer,$ftpUsername,$ftpPassword,$maxConnections,$exclude_list);

//This to display detailed information about the directories and files being uploaded - use for testing
$sync->verbose=true;

//start synchronization process
$sync->syncRemoteDir('/path/to/local','/path/to/remote');

?>

Details

Notes before using this class:-
1- Please don't write ftp:// before the host name or it will fail.
2- If you had troubles connecting to the FTP server or if the synchronization is taking too long try decreasing the number of maxConnections to 1 or 2 because some servers refuse multiple connections from the same client.
3- Some servers doesn't support chmod options so you may get errors like
PHP Warning:  ftp_chmod(): Unknown SITE command. 
Just can ignore this error
