directory - PHP - opendir on another server

Question

I'm kinda new to PHP.

I've got two different hosts and I want my php page in one of them to show me a directory listing of the other. I know how to work with opendir() on the same host but is it possible to use it to get access to another machine?

Thanks in advance

Try:

<?php

$dir = opendir('ftp://user:[email protected]/path/to/dir/');

while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
    if ($file[0] != ".") $str .= "<li>$file</li>
";
}

closedir($dir);

echo "<ul>
$str</ul>";
