ftp_raw — Sends an arbitrary command to an FTP server
ftp_raw(FTP\Connection $ftp, string $command): ?array
Sends an arbitrary command to the FTP server.
ftpAn FTP\Connection instance.
commandThe command to execute.
Returns the server's response as an array of strings, or null on failure. No parsing is performed on the response string, nor does ftp_raw() determine if the command succeeded.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.1.0 | The ftp parameter expects an FTP\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected. |
Example #1 Using ftp_raw() to login to an FTP server manually.
<?php
$ftp = ftp_connect("ftp.example.com");
/* This is the same as:
ftp_login($ftp, "joeblow", "secret"); */
ftp_raw($ftp, "USER joeblow");
ftp_raw($ftp, "PASS secret");
?>
