❮ PHP FTP Reference

Example

Get list of files with file information:

<?php
// connect and login to FTP server
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);

// get the file list for /
$filelist = ftp_rawlist($ftp_conn, "/");

// close connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);

// output $filelist
var_dump($filelist);
?>
