## Examples

Example 1. Sending a SITE command to an ftp server
`<?php /* Connect to FTP server */ $conn = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com'); if (!$conn) die('Unable to connect to ftp.example.com'); /* Login as "user" with password "pass" */ if (!ftp_login($conn, 'user', 'pass')) die('Error logging into ftp.example.com'); /* Issue: "SITE CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile" command to ftp server */ if (ftp_site($conn, 'CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile')) { echo "Command executed successfully.\n"; } else { die('Command failed.'); } ?>`
