I wrote this code for when I need to get files from other servers and put them on my own server. I wanted to simplify it as much as possible.

  1. function ftp_download($ftp_host, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass, $remote_file_path, $local_file_path, $passive = true, $mode = FTP_BINARY) {
  2.  
  3.     $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_host);
  4.  
  5.     if ($conn_id) {
  6.  
  7.     if (@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass)) {
  8.  
  9.     ftp_pasv($conn_id, $passive);
  10.  
  11.     if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file_path, $remote_file_path, $mode)) {
  12.         ftp_close($conn_id);
  13.         return true;
  14.     } else {
  15.         ftp_close($conn_id);
  16.         return false;
  17.     }
  18.  
  19.     } else {
  20.       throw new Exception("Failed to login to the FTP server.", 100)
  21.     }
  22.  
  23.     } else {
  24.       throw new Exception("Failed to connect to the FTP server.", 99);
  25.     }
  26.  
  27. }
