(PHP ActiveX) Inovis VAN FTP/SSL (EDI)

Demonstrates how to connect to the Inovis EDI VAN (FTP/SSL).

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Ftp2')
$ftp = new COM("Chilkat.Ftp2");

$ftp->Hostname = 'ftpssl.gateway.inovisworks.net';
$ftp->Username = 'myLogin';
$ftp->Password = 'myPassword';

// The Inovis EDI VAN requires Passive connections:
$ftp->Passive = 1;

// Note: The Inovis documentation mentions an outbound
// high port range of 40000-49999.  In passive mode, the
// FTP server chooses the port number for the data
// connection.  The Inovis server will choose a port number
// in the range 40000-49999.  To establish the data connection,
// your firewall must allow outgoing connections in that port
// range. 

// This tells Chilkat FTP2 to establish
// an AUTH TLS secure channel after connecting
// on the standard FTP port 21.
$ftp->AuthTls = 1;

// You'll probably need this property set to 1 if you're
// behind a NAT router or firewall.
$ftp->PassiveUseHostAddr = 1;

// The Ssl property is for establishing an implicit SSL connection
// on port 990.  Do not set it to 1.  The Inovis VAN
// uses explicit encryption (SSL/TLS).
$ftp->Ssl = 0;

// The Chilkat FTP component automatically sends a "FEAT";
// command after connecting.  This allows the component
// to better know the FTP server's capabilities.
// The Invois server doesn't recognize the FEAT command,
// so disable it:
$ftp->AutoFeat = 0;

// Connect, convert to TLS, and login to the FTP server.
$success = $ftp->Connect();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}
else {
    // LastErrorText contains information even when
    // successful. This allows you to visually verify
    // that the secure connection actually occurred.
    print $ftp->LastErrorText . "\n";
}

print 'Connection to Inovis EDI VAN OK!' . "\n";

// Do whatever you're doing to do ...
// upload files, download files, etc...

$success = $ftp->Disconnect();
