note 106931 deleted from function.ftp-ssl-connect by cmb

Note Submitter: mmm3567 at gmail dot com ---- Something that isn't mentioned above is that although ftp_ssl_connect may be available and will return an FTP stream it may not be usable. Take the following code (FTP login credentials are obviously set elsewhere): <?php var_dump(function_exists('ftp_ssl_connect')); if(function_exists('ftp_ssl_connect')) { $ftp_connection = @ftp_ssl_connect($this->ftp_host); } else { $ftp_connection = @ftp_connect($this->ftp_host); } var_dump($ftp_connection); if($ftp_connection) { ftp_login($ftp_connection, $this->ftp_user, $this->ftp_password); } // output: bool(true) resource(71) of type (FTP Buffer) ?> From this you'd assume everything would work, ftp_ssl_connect is available and you have a connection. However, once you get to ftp_login, you could get this: Warning [2] ftp_login() [function.ftp-login]: AUTH not understood This is because the server is not configured to understand the encrypted details, even though the function is available and an SSL-FTP stream was opened. If you are trying to use ftp_ssl_connect make sure you check if you can login after using it, and if not, connect again with standard ftp_connect. Hope this is of use.
