  <para>
   <function>ftp_ssl_connect</function> opens an <emphasis>explicit</emphasis> SSL-FTP connection to the
   specified <parameter>host</parameter>. That implies that
   <function>ftp_ssl_connect</function> will succeed even if the server is not
   configured for SSL-FTP, or its certificate is invalid. Only when
   <function>ftp_login</function> is called, the client will send the
   appropriate AUTH FTP command, so <function>ftp_login</function> will fail in
   the mentioned cases.
  </para>
  <note>
   <title>Why this function may not exist</title>
   <para>
    <function>ftp_ssl_connect</function> is only available if both
    the ftp module and the <link linkend="ref.openssl">OpenSSL</link>
    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.
   </para>
  </note>
  <note>
   <para>
    <function>ftp_ssl_connect</function> is not intended for use with sFTP.
    To use sFTP with PHP, please see <function>ssh2_sftp</function>.
