Cannot connect with FTP server with PHP , ftp_connect()

Question

I was trying to connect with ftp server using ftp_connect() function of PHP as shown below:

Answer 1

You must supply only the ftp server hostname, rather than the hostname and directory path, and the irrelevant http:// since this is an FTP connection.

$ftp_server = "ftp.mozilla.org";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); 

// Then chdir to the correct directory:
ftp_chdir($conn_id, "/pub/mozilla.org");

See the full documentation of PHP's FTP functions.
