Hi, You should read www.php.net/fopen : If filename begins with "ftp://" (not case sensitive), an ftp connection to the specified server is opened and a pointer to the requested file is returned. If the server does not support passive mode ftp, this will fail. You can open files for either reading or writing via ftp (but not both simultaneously). If the remote file already exists on the ftp server and you attempt to open it for writing, this will fail. If you need to update existing files over ftp, use ftp_connect().
You should also read www.php.net/feof, www.php.net/fread You can't echo the var of fopen, you must use fread and verify you're not at the end of the file with while(!feof($fich))... -- Nicos - CHAILLAN Nicolas [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.WorldAKT.com - Hébergement de sites Internet "Javier Campo Martinez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit dans le message de news: 012e01c253ab$1669a310$[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I will appreciate if you have some sample code about opening a file from a UNIX server.

If the server does not support passive mode ftp, this will fail. You can open files for either reading or writing via ftp (but not both simultaneously). phpinfo() returns me the following ftp topic: FTP support enabled I just don't know what more can I do ...
