ftp_raw

Sends an arbitrary command to an FTP server

Description

arraynull ftp_raw(FTP\Connection $ftp, string $command)

Sends an arbitrary command to the FTP server.

Parameters

ftp

An FTP\Connection instance.

command

The command to execute.

Return Values

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.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The ftp parameter expects an FTP\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

Examples

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");
?>
