API2 - addftp

Hi solcre,

I have confirmed that API2 Ftp::addftp is working correctly. In the future, a more detailed inquiry would help determine how exactly you're trying to accomplish the task at hand.

That is:
1) I have to assume that you're using the PHP XML-API client class...but you don't say this explicitly
- if so, what version of the PHP XML-API client class are you using?
2) Is you script authentication as 'root' or the cPanel account?
3) What port are you using?

Re:
1) There has been a update to the PHP XML-API client class in v1.0.6, itemized in the changelog, that ensures the function parameters, for calls like Ftp::addftp, don't munge the XML-API parameters.
2 & 3) An incorrect pairing of port number and authenticated user can cause unexpected errors messages...sometimes similar to the one you've posted here...though this may not be you issue

The following code, using the PHP XML-API v1.0.6, worked for me:

PHP:

include("xmlapi.php");

$ip = "10.1.1.1";
$auth_user = "dave";
$auth_pass = "secret!";
$cpuser = 'dave';


$xmlapi = new xmlapi($ip);
$xmlapi->password_auth( $auth_user, $auth_pass );

$xmlapi->set_port('2083');
$xmlapi->set_debug(1);

$args = array( 
    'user'=>'templates',
    'pass'=>'d%29U2ltD',
    'quota'=>20,
    'homedir'=>'public_html/templates'
);

$xmlapi->api2_query($cpuser, 'Ftp', 'addftp', $args);

The result was the following:

Code:
