Question

I am trying to transfer a file from one server to another. I am using php5 with curl

$fp = fopen("/tmp/help.txt", "r");    
$url = "ftp://admin:[e-mail]:21/tmp/help.txt";    
$ch = curl_init();        
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1);     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp);     
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FTPASCII, 1);     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, filesize(__FILE__));     
$result = curl_exec($ch);         
print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));    
echo "\n\ncURL error number:" .curl_errno($ch);    
echo "\n\ncURL error:" . curl_error($ch);   
curl_close($ch); 

I get an error as below:
