PHP ftp_nb_get() Function
Definition and Usage
The ftp_nb_get() function retrieves a file from an FTP server and writes it to a local file (non-blocking).
This function returns the following values:
- FTP_FAILED (send/receive failed)
- FTP_FINISHED (send/receive completed)
- FTP_MOREDATA (send/receive in progress)
With ftp_get() Different, this function retrieves files asynchronously. This means that your program can perform other operations while the file transfer is in progress.
