How to upload a file to a remote FTP server using Varien_Io_Ftp in Magento?

Question

I have a csv file and you want to upload it to a remote FTP server. I see that Magento has the Varien_Io_Ftp class, but I cannot find a good documentation or an example of its use. Can someone help me and give a good example?

Answer 1

Here is my solution. Thanks @SKV.

$ftp = new Varien_Io_Ftp(); $ftp->open( array( 'host' => $myhost, 'user' => $myuser, 'password' => $mypass, ) ); $flocal = fopen(Mage::getBaseDir() . DS . 'test.csv', 'r'); $ftp->write('test.csv', $flocal); $ftp->close(); 

Answer 2

The example below shows how you can create a folder, retrieve data through external SFTP, analyze / import, then analyze / export and finally push data to external SFTP

Define a useful file / folder path, etc.

 $baseDir = Mage::getBaseDir(); $varDir = $baseDir.DS.'var'; $timeOfImport = date('jmY_his'); $importReadyDir = $varDir.DS.'import_ready'.DS.$timeOfImport; $exportReadyDir = $varDir.DS.'export_ready'.DS.$timeOfImport; $_fileToImportRemote = '/home/skv/customers.txt'; $_fileToExportRemote = '/home/skv/customers_export.txt'; $_fileToImportBaseName = 'customers.txt'; $_fileToImportLocal = $importReadyDir.DS.'customers.txt'; $_fileToExportLocal = $exportReadyDir.DS.'customers_parsed.txt'; 

Then we will extract the file and save it until our magento installation.

 $file = new Varien_Io_File(); //Create import_ready folder $importReadyDirResult = $file->mkdir($importReadyDir); if (!$importReadyDirResult) { //Handle error } $sftpPickupFile = new Varien_Io_Sftp(); try { $sftpPickupFile->open( array( 'host' => 'some.server.com', 'username' => 'skv', 'password' => 'MyPass', 'timeout' => '10' ) ); $_fileToImportRemoteTmp = $sftpPickupFile->read($_fileToImportRemote); if(!$_fileToImportRemoteTmp) { //Handle error } $sftpPickupFile->close(); if (!$file->write($_fileToImportLocal, $_fileToImportRemoteTmp)) { //Handle error } } catch (Exception $e) { //Handle error } 

now this is an example of sending some data to a remote server

 $flocal = new Varien_Io_File(); $flocal->open(array('path' => $importReadyDir)); $flocal->streamOpen('customers.txt', 'r'); while (false !== ($csvLine = $flocal->streamReadCsv())) { //Parse the data and import it... //Zend_Debug::dump($csvLine, '$csvLine'); /** $csvLine array(4) { [0] => string(13) "skv" [1] => string(16) " [e-mail] " [2] => string(2) "28" [3] => string(25) "Sample address for skv" } */ } //Now we do reverse, grab some data from Magento and upload it to SFTP $data = '"skv", " [e-mail] ", "28", "Sample address for skv" "skv", " [e-mail] ", "29", "Sample address for Tomas"'; $sftpDumpFile = new Varien_Io_Sftp(); try { $sftpDumpFile->open( array( 'host' => 'some.server.com', 'username' => 'skv', 'password' => 'MyPass', 'timeout' => '10' ) ); //Make a local backup that will be send to SFTP $file->mkdir($exportReadyDir); $file->write($_fileToExportLocal, $data); //Upload to SFTP $_fileToExportRemoteTmp = $sftpDumpFile->write($_fileToExportRemote, $data); } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); }
