Introduction
The functions in this extension implement client access to file
servers speaking the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) as defined in
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959. This extension is
meant for detailed access to an FTP server providing a wide range
of control to the executing script. If you only wish to
read from or write to a file on an FTP server, consider using
the ftp:// wrapper
with the filesystem functions
which provide a simpler and more intuitive interface.
Requirements
No external libraries are needed to build this extension.
Installation
In order to use FTP functions with your PHP configuration, you should
add the --enable-ftp option when
installing PHP 4 or --with-ftp when using
PHP 3.
The windows version of PHP
has built in support for this extension. You do not need to load any additional
extension in order to use these functions.

Resource Types
This extension uses one resource type, which is the link identifier
of the FTP connection, returned by ftp_connect().

Examples
Example 1. FTP example
<?php // set up basic connection $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// check connection if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { echo "FTP connection has failed!"; echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; exit; } else { echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name"; }
// upload the file $upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
// check upload status if (!$upload) { echo "FTP upload has failed!"; } else { echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file"; }
// close the FTP stream ftp_close($conn_id); ?>
