(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
ftp_nb_fget — Retrieves a file from the FTP server and writes it to an open file (non-blocking)
$ftp_stream
, resource $handle
, string $remote_file
, int $mode
[, int $resumepos = 0
] )ftp_nb_fget() retrieves a remote file from the FTP server.
The difference between this function and ftp_fget() is that this function retrieves the file asynchronously, so your program can perform other operations while the file is being downloaded.
ftp_stream
The link identifier of the FTP connection.
handle
An open file pointer in which we store the data.
remote_file
The remote file path.
mode
The transfer mode. Must be either FTP_ASCII or
FTP_BINARY.
resumepos
The position in the remote file to start downloading from.
Returns FTP_FAILED or FTP_FINISHED
or FTP_MOREDATA.
Example #1 ftp_nb_fget() example
<?php
// open some file for reading
$file = 'index.php';
$fp = fopen($file, 'w');
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// Initate the download
$ret = ftp_nb_fget($conn_id, $fp, $file, FTP_BINARY);
while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {
// Do whatever you want
echo ".";
// Continue downloading...
$ret = ftp_nb_continue($conn_id);
}
if ($ret != FTP_FINISHED) {
echo "There was an error downloading the file...";
exit(1);
}
// close filepointer
fclose($fp);
?>

If you want to monitor the progress of the download, you may use the filesize()-Function.
But note: The results of said function are cached, so you'll always get 0 bytes. Call clearstatcache() before calling filesize() to determine the actual size of the downloaded file.
This may have performance implications, but if you want to provide the information, there's no way around it.
Above sample extended:
<?php
// get the size of the remote file
$fs = ftp_size($my_connection, "test");
// Initate the download
$ret = ftp_nb_get($my_connection, "test", "README", FTP_BINARY);
while ($ret == FTP_MOREDATA) {
clearstatcache(); // <- this is important
$dld = filesize($locfile);
if ( $dld > 0 ){
// calculate percentage
$i = ($dld/$fs)*100;
printf("\r\t%d%% downloaded", $i);
}
// Continue downloading...
$ret = ftp_nb_continue ($my_connection);
}
if ($ret != FTP_FINISHED) {
echo "There was an error downloading the file...";
exit(1);
}
?>
