// Use a correct ftp server
$ftp_server = "localhost";
 
// Use correct ftp username
$ftp_username="username";
 
// Use correct ftp password corresponding
// to the ftp username
$ftp_userpass="password";
 
  
// Establishing ftp connection
$ftp_connection = ftp_connect($ftp_server)
        or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
         
if($ftp_connection) {
    echo "successfully connected to the ftp server!";
     
    // Logging in to established connection with
    // ftp username password
    $login = ftp_login($ftp_connection, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);
     
    if($login) {
         
        // Checking whether logged in successfully or not
        echo "<br>logged in successfully!";
         
        // Printing timeout for current ftp connection
        echo ftp_get_option($ftp_connection, FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC) . "<br>";
         
        // Printing whether FTP_AUTOSEEK enabled or not
        echo ftp_get_option($ftp_connection, FTP_AUTOSEEK) . "<br>";
          
    }
    else {
        echo "<br>login failed!";
    }
     
    // Closing  connection

        echo "<br>Connection closed Successfully!";
    }
