ftp_ssl_connect Opens a Secure SSL-FTP connection &reftitle.description; resourceftp_ssl_connect stringhost intport21 inttimeout90 ftp_ssl_connect opens an explicit SSL-FTP connection to the specified host. That implies that ftp_ssl_connect will succeed even if the server is not configured for SSL-FTP, or its certificate is invalid. Only when ftp_login is called, the client will send the appropriate AUTH FTP command, so ftp_login will fail in the mentioned cases. ftp_ssl_connect is only available if both the ftp module and the OpenSSL support is built statically into php, this means that on Windows this function will be undefined in the official PHP builds. To make this function available on Windows you must compile your own PHP binaries. ftp_ssl_connect is not intended for use with sFTP. To use sFTP with PHP, please see ssh2_sftp. &reftitle.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. &reftitle.returnvalues; Returns a SSL-FTP stream on success or &false; on error. &reftitle.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. &reftitle.examples; ]]> &reftitle.seealso; ftp_connect
