PHP ftp_raw() Function

Definition and Usage

The ftp_raw() function sends a raw command to the FTP server.

Syntax

ftp_raw(ftp_connection,command)
Parameters Description
ftp_connection Required. Specifies the FTP connection to use (the identifier for the FTP connection).
command Required. Specifies the command to be executed.

Tips and Comments

Note:This function returns the server's response in the form of a string array. No parsing is performed, and ftp_raw() does not check if the command is correct.

Example

<?php
$conn = ftp_connect("ftp.testftp.com") or die("Could not connect");
print_r (ftp_raw($conn,"USER admin"));
print_r (ftp_raw($conn,"PASS ert456"));
ftp_close($conn);
?>

Output:

Array ([0] => 331 User admin, password please) 
Array ([0] => 230 Password Ok, User logged in)
