1.5 FTP Server Setup

[gillyworld]

I have done a clean install of 1.5 which wored ok. Now I am doing the FTP server setup, added a server and then clicked test and get the following message in the test report:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ftp_connect() in /home/www/gillywor/gallery/input/ftp_servers.php on line 450


Any ideas please?

Your PHP does not have ftp enabled so ftp functions are not available.

See your /gallery/input/serverinfo.php - what does that page and "Display full PHP info" like there say about ftp?

Oh, and rename that input directory to something else (security thing).

Pekka,

Quite right my ISP's server does not have PHP FTP enabled. server also does not have the IMAGICK WRAPPER MODULE and EXIF MODULE so how much function of 1.5 will I lose. In particular does the lack of EXIF MODULE mean that I will not be able to read the EXIF data

You will need ftp for uploads and most file related functions. But lacking EXIF and IPTC means only that you lose camera info data (exhibition photodata defaults are used).
