I need a way to convert a web URL to a valid FTP URL. For example,
convert this:
http://www.domain.com/folder/file.txt
to this:
ftp://user:p...@domain.com/webroot/folder/file.txt
Not all servers use "public_html" so I can't just hard-code that as the
web root. Is there a generic way to indicate the web folder on a server,
the same way a tilde indicates the user's home folder? Or any other way
to get the path?
The user name and password are known.
Just to clariy: I tried inserting the "www" alias into the path, since
virtually all servers support that. It works with primary domains but it
fails with subdomains. Basically I'm looking for a way to force ftp to
resolve the "www.domain" part of the URL to an absolute path. My tests
so far seem to indicate that any initial "www" in the path is ignored
with ftp.
