PHP FTP function usage tutorial

Introducing PHP FTP
This feature provides FTP clients with access to file servers via File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

The FTP function is used to open, log in and close links, as well as upload, download, rename, delete and get information about files from the file server. Not all FTP functions will work with every server or return the same results. The FTP function becomes available with PHP 3.

These functions are all for detailed access to FTP servers. If you only wish to read or write files on an FTP server, consider using wrapper ftp:// with the file functionality.


Install
The Windows version of PHP has built-in support for FTP extensions. Therefore, the FTP function will work automatically.

However, if you are running a Linux version of PHP, you will have to compile PHP with -enable-FTP (PHP4+) or -with-FTP (PHP3) to get the FTP functions to work.
