### For Laravel 4.x, check [v1.0.0](https://github.com/harishanchu/Laravel-FTP/tree/v1.0.0)

[](#for-laravel-4x-check-v100)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the package to your `composer.json` and run `composer update`.

```
{
    "require": {
        "polyerter/ftp": "dev-master"
    }
}

```

Add the service provider in `config/app.php`:

```
'Anchu\Ftp\FtpServiceProvider',

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Run `php artisan vendor:publish` and modify the config file(`config/ftp.php`) with your ftp connections.

You can add dynamic FTP connections with following syntax

```
Config::set('ftp.connections.key', array(
           'host'   => '',
           'username' => '',
           'password'   => '',
           'passive'   => false,
));
```

Accessing connections
---------------------

[](#accessing-connections)

You can access default FTP connection via the `FTP::connection` method:

```
FTP::connection()->getDirListing(...);
```

When using multiple connections you can access each specific ftp connection by passing connection name:

```
FTP::connection('foo')->getDirListing(...);
```

Sometimes you may need to reconnect to a given ftp:

```
FTP::reconnect('foo');
```

If you need to disconnect from a given ftp use the disconnect method:

```
FTP::disconnect('foo');
```

Basic usage examples
--------------------

[](#basic-usage-examples)

```
// With custom connection
$listing = FTP::connection('my-ftp-connection')->getDirListing();

// with default connection
$listing = FTP::connection()->getDirListing();
$status = FTP::connection()->makeDir('directory-name');
```
