# PHP ftp_ssl_connect() Function

PHP FTP Reference

## Example

Open a secure SSL-FTP connection:

<?php
// set up basic SSL connection
$ftp_server = "123.123.123.123";
$ftp_conn = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server) or die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");
// login
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);
// then do something...
// close SSL connection
ftp_close($ftp_conn);
?>

## Definition and Usage

The ftp_ssl_connect() function opens a secure SSL-FTP connection.

When the connection is open, you can run FTP functions against the server.

Note: This function is only available if both the ftp module and the OpenSSL support is built statically into PHP.

## Syntax

ftp_ssl_connect(host,port,timeout);

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
host | Required. Specifies the FTP server address. Can be a domain address or an IP address. This parameter should not be prefixed with "ftp://" or have any trailing slashes
port | Optional. Specifies the port to connect to. Default is 21
timeout | Optional. Specifies the timeout for network operations. Default is 90 seconds

## Technical Details

Return Value: | Returns a SSL-FTP stream on success or FALSE on error
PHP Version: | 4.3+
PHP Changelog: | In PHP 5.2.2 this function returns FALSE if it cannot use an SSL connection, instead of fallbacking to a non-SSL connection
