Installation

In order to use FTP functions with your PHP configuration, you should add the --enable-ftp option when installing PHP.

In Autotools, the FTP SSL support is enabled implicitly when building together with the openssl extension using the --with-openssl configure option. When building without openssl extension, the --with-ftp-ssl Autotools configure option can be used to enable the FTP SSL support explicitly.

On Windows this extension is always built as shared extension and as such has to be enabled in php.ini.
