(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

ftp_nb_fget -- Retrieves a file from the FTP server and writes it to an open file (non-blocking)

Description

int ftp_nb_fget ( resource ftp_stream, resource handle, string remote_file, int mode [, int resumepos] )

ftp_nb_fget() retrieves a remote file from the FTP server.

The difference between this function and ftp_fget() is that this function retrieves the file asynchronously, so your program can perform other operations while the file is being downloaded.

handle

remote_file

The remote file path.

mode

The transfer mode. Must be either FTP_ASCII or FTP_BINARY.

// Initate the download
$ret = ftp_nb_fget($conn_id, $fp, $file, FTP_BINARY);
while (
$ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {

   
// Do whatever you want
   
echo ".";

   
// Continue downloading...
   
$ret = ftp_nb_continue($conn_id);
