ftp_ssl_connect

Opens an Secure SSL-FTP connection (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
resource ftp_ssl_connect ( string host [, int port [, int timeout]] )

ftp_ssl_connect() opens a SSL-FTP connection to the specified host.

Why this function may not exist:

ftp_ssl_connect() is only available if OpenSSL support is enabled into your version of PHP. If it's undefined and you've compiled FTP support then this is why. For Windows you must compile your own PHP binaries to support this function.

Parameters

host: The FTP server address. This parameter shouldn't have any trailing slashes and shouldn't be prefixed with ftp://.
port: This parameter specifies an alternate port to connect to. If it is omitted or set to zero, then the default FTP port, 21, will be used.
timeout: This parameter specifies the timeout for all subsequent network operations. If omitted, the default value is 90 seconds. The timeout can be changed and queried at any time with ftp_set_option() and ftp_get_option().

Return Values

Returns a SSL-FTP stream on success or FALSE on error.

ChangeLog

Version	Description
5.2.2	The function was changed to return `FALSE` when it can't use an SSL connection, instead of fallbacking to a non-SSL one as previously.

<?php

// set up basic ssl connection
$conn_id = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);


echo ftp_pwd($conn_id); // /


// close the ssl connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

I wasted a lot of time trying to get FTP over SSL/TLS working in PHP on Windows OS (with precompiled SSL PHP-packages etc.). However, it never worked for me. I'm happy I found a nice solution now: using "MovieIt Freely", a commandline FTP-Client, freeware at http://www.standardnetworks.com. A nice tool that worked on all SSL/TLS-enabled FTP-Server for me. Its easy to get it to interact with PHP: a) Create a temporary batch-txt-file and therein write all your commands to be performed b) then launch the program with exec() or backticks, let MovieIt read the batch-txt-file and forward/write down the log/results in a temporary results-txt-file c) Finally read the log/results-txt-file Check the manual for details. Hope it helps. Cheers!
