Situation:

Ubuntu 16.04
PHP 7
NFS share from an OpenVMS host

Trying to copy a file from the NFS share to a local directory.

The PHP copy() function copies the file, but the resulting local file has a bunch of junk at the end of it. I suspect it's the allocated but unused area at the end of the physical OpenVMS file, but haven't proved that.

Using copy( 'ftp://...' ) results in

failed to open stream: FTP server reports 502 SIZE is unimplemented

file_put_contents( ..., file_get_contents( ... )) does work, though.

Can somebody please explain to me why file_get_contents() gets the correct data and copy() does not?

Have you tried the ftp functions PHP has? They're a bit more precise than trying to open a socket. My bet is the junk characters are control commands being written into the stream as part of the FTP process – Machavity Feb 14 '17 at 18:47
I AM using the PHP functions. The copy() function, specifically. – David Patterson Feb 14 '17 at 22:49
I'm talking about functions like [ftp_connect](http://php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-connect.php) – Machavity Feb 14 '17 at 22:54
NFS or FTP? Post contains both but not clear how it is related. – eckes Apr 26 '17 at 06:27
Do you get the error message and broken content? – eckes Apr 26 '17 at 06:28
copy( '/mnt/shareName/filename', 'destFilePath') results in broken content. copy( 'ftp://...filename', 'destFilePath') results in error. – David Patterson Apr 26 '17 at 15:38
