Ftp upload question

When this is on my server, how would I write the path ($source_file) to a file on my local computer?
And how can I put the file inside my created folder?

<?php
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect("ftp.mysite.com"); 

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "user", "pass"); 

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { 
        echo "Failed!";
        exit; 
    } else {
        echo "Connected";
    }

$source_file = 'path to my file on local computer';
$destination_file = 'destinationName.avi';

// Destination directory
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/uploadedFiles/'; 

// Make directory
$newFolder = mkdir($dir.'myFolder',0777);

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY); 

// check upload status
if (!$upload) { 
        echo "FTP upload has failed!";
    } else {
        echo "Uploaded";
    }

// close the FTP stream 
ftp_close($conn_id); 
?>

PHP:

 

Uhm. You can't, if I understand you correctly. PHP can't automatically access files on your local computer (thank heavens).

You can, however, make a form where you have a file browser/input and you select the file - the rest of the task can be automated as you want it to be.

Google for "upload files with php ftp" or something similar.

 

Ok, I was just wondering how the path will look like when it's sent to the PHP script. will it be "C:\user\myfile.jpg" or what will the path be?

 

It is completely irrelevant? It's not sent anything to the PHP-script - you chose a location on your local computer, and the file saves itself there - it's not being sent any information as to where you save it to the PHP-file.
