PHP ftp_ssl_connect() Function

Example

Open a secure SSL-FTP connection:

<?php
// set up basic SSL connection
$ftp_server = "123.123.123.123";
$ftp_conn = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");

// login
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);

// then do something...

// close SSL connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);
?>

Definition and Usage

The ftp_ssl_connect() function opens a secure SSL-FTP connection.

When the connection is open, you can run FTP functions against the server.

Note: This function is only available if both the ftp module and the OpenSSL support is built statically into PHP.

Syntax

ftp_ssl_connect(host, port, timeout);

Technical Details
