Dude:
Here I am replying to myself on the list so that others won't suffer as
I have. I finally figured out that ftp_put and ftp_fput are running *on
the server* and so don't know anything about the client's file system.
They are putting files from the php server onto some other remote
server. Therefore, the only file they are going to know about is the
temp file that php creates on the fly. Once I changed my code to use the
php tmp file, the upload worked smoothly.
HTH,
David
