Download File Through FTP

Easy-to-use PHP functions to download files through FTP.

Usage

Copy the files from the build directory to your project.

Example

require_once 'downloadFileThroughFtp.php';

downloadFileThroughFtp(
    'anonymous',                   // user name
    '',                            // password
    'speedtest.tele2.net',         // host
    '1KB.zip',                     // remote path
    'path/to/your/local/directory' // local directory path
);

It’s good practice to avoid hard-coding your connection information in your production code. Instead, you can use a configuration file that your code reads.

Example: using configuration

config.php

define( 'FTP_USERNAME', 'username' );
define( 'FTP_PASSWORD', '*********' );
define( 'FTP_HOST', 'example.com' );
define( 'FTP_REMOTE_PATH', 'remote/path/to/file' );
define( 'LOCAL_DIRECTORY_PATH', 'path/to/local/directory' );

your-script.php

require_once 'config.php';
require_once 'downloadFileThroughFtp.php';

downloadFileThroughFtp(
    FTP_USERNAME,
    FTP_PASSWORD,
    FTP_HOST,
    FTP_REMOTE_PATH,
    FTP_LOCAL_DIRECTORY_PATH
);

Building and Testing

You’ll need Composer to build and test.

Installing Dependencies

php composer.phar install

Run Tests

vendor/bin/phpunit src

The tests will download a 1 kB zip file. You can change the FTP settings in src/config-test.php. See test FTP server for other files you can download. Of course, you can, for example, also change the settings to test your own FTP server, or adjust to your liking.
