I am wondering if someone here has Domain Direct as their host server and made EE work. Support told me they do not have a firewall that will stop the FTP from running from "within" their servers. They instead gave me a piece of code that they said works in their system. But does not make sense to me :cry:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> File Upload </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
if ( $userfile )
{
@$res=copy($userfile,"$userfile_name");
if ( !$res )
print "Upload failed!
\n";
else
print "Upload of $userfile_name successful
\n";
}
?>
<FORM method=POST ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
File to Upload
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="25000000">
<INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file" size=35>
<INPUT TYPE="submit">
</FORM>
<IMG SRC="test_image.jpg" ALT="Test Image">

That code writes file locally, and has nothing to do with problem in hand. Problem is that socket connections from PHP seem to be firewalled in their server. There is no reason for server admin to do that, except attitude "shut down everything that I do not know about".
Which hosting account type you have in Domain Direct, "standard"? I think I'll have to get one and start talking with the support. Same thing with GoDaddy.
Here is the REAL test they should run. First it checks that socket function is available (it's standard PHP function). The it checks socket connection to port 80 (http), the to port 21 (ftp) and then to localhost's ftp port. It has 5 seconds timeout which is plenty in this application because only connection "touch" is tested, nothing is transferred.
