README

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

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

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

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));

Error Handling

The library throws exceptions when an error occurs. You can catch exceptions to handle errors in your application:

    // Code that may throw an exception
} catch (\FtpClient\FtpException $e) {
    // Handle the exception
    echo 'An error occurred: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
