A modern FTP and SSL-FTP client for PHP, offering easy-to-use helpers for managing remote files.

> Note: This library requires PHP >=8.1.

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

[](#installation)

To get started with PHP FTP Client in your project, you can install it via Composer:

```
composer require tomedio/php-ftp-client
```

After installation, you can use the library in your PHP project to connect to an FTP server and perform various operations.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

Connect to an FTP server:

```
$ftp = new \FtpClient\FtpClient();
$ftp->connect($host);
$ftp->login($login, $password);
```

OR

Connect to an FTP server via SSL (on port 990 or another port):

```
$ftp = new \FtpClient\FtpClient();
$ftp->connect($host, true, 990);
$ftp->login($login, $password);
```

Note: The connection is implicitly closed at the end of script execution (when the object is destroyed). Therefore, it is unnecessary to call `$ftp->close()`, except for an explicit re-connection.

### Usage

[](#usage)

Upload all files and directories:

```
// Upload with the BINARY mode
$ftp->putAll($sourceDirectory, $targetDirectory);

// Is equal to
$ftp->putAll($sourceDirectory, $targetDirectory, FTP_BINARY);

// Or upload with the ASCII mode
$ftp->putAll($sourceDirectory, $targetDirectory, FTP_ASCII);
```

*Note: FTP\_ASCII and FTP\_BINARY are predefined PHP internal constants.*

Get a directory size:

```
// Size of the current directory
$size = $ftp->dirSize();

// Size of a given directory
$size = $ftp->dirSize('/path/of/directory');
```

Count the items in a directory:

```
// Count in the current directory
$total = $ftp->countItems();

// Or alias
$total = $ftp->count();
```

Detailed list of all files and directories in a directory:

```
$items = $ftp->scanDir();

// scan the current directory (recursive) and returns the details of each item
var_dump($ftp->scanDir('.', true));
```

Results:
