Problem with FTP Importing

Hello,

It is a server related issue.

If you’re on a managed server, please ask your host to enable allow_url_fopen

Alternatively, you can edit your php.ini, find allow_url_fopen and set it to allow_url_fopen = 1

A PHP restart might be needed. Please post here if you see any issues.

Thanks!

Hi @edward-moch

The above solution is correct (thanks @imemine !), you’ll need to enable allow_url_fopen on your server in order to fix this.

Thanks @imemine & @wpallimport so much,

After enabling allow_url_fopen = 1, I got 2 new error now:

The First:
<b>Warning</b>: readfile(ftp://...@ftpDetails/File.xml): failed to open stream: FTP server reports 550 Can't check for file existence

In the same time, when I paste the FTP URL in browser (ftp://…@ftpDetails/File.xml), the file opens normally.

The Second:
in <b>/path to the file/import-ftp-proxy.php</b> on line <b>16</b><br />
What should I do then?

Another question, what is the minimum hosting requirements that let the plugin working efficiently?

Thanks..

Hi @edward-moch

I got 2 new error now

It looks like the path to the file is incorrect in your script. This might help: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21044601. There’s also an example script here that might help: https://gist.github.com/trey8611/a70075e74800b54813154410abaa0b7c.

We have a list of our recommendations and requirements here: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/advanced/server-configuration/.

Hi @wpallimport,

My question now, if the FTP path works in browser correctly, does it mean it should work with the script too?

It works here when pasting to browser, while not working with the script.

Thanks

can you please share the “bridge technique”? cant find anything about ftp import on plugin documentation

Where do I use the bridge PHP file mentioned above? Is there any documentation or video on this process?

@edward-moch Can you tell me how you implemented the bridge script? Where do I put this file once I customize it? Thanks!
