Laravel-FTP

A simple Laravel 5/6/7 ftp service provider.

For Laravel 4.x, check v1.0.0

Installation

Add the package to your composer.json and run composer update.

{
    "require": {
        "anchu/ftp": "~2.0"
    }
}

If you're using Laravel 5.5+ skip the next step, as Laravel auto discover packages.

Add the service provider in config/app.php:

Anchu\Ftp\FtpServiceProvider::class,

Configuration

Run php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config and modify the config file(config/ftp.php) with your ftp connections.

You can add dynamic FTP connections with following syntax

Config::set('ftp.connections.key', array(
           'host'   => '',
           'username' => '',
           'password'   => '',
           'passive'   => false,
           'secure'   => false,
));

Accessing connections

You can access default FTP connection via the FTP::connection method:

FTP::connection()->getDirListing(...);

When using multiple connections you can access each specific ftp connection by passing connection name:

FTP::connection('foo')->getDirListing(...);

Sometimes you may need to reconnect to a given ftp:

FTP::reconnect('foo');

If you need to disconnect from a given ftp use the disconnect method:

FTP::disconnect('foo');

Basic usage examples

// With custom connection
$listing = FTP::connection('my-ftp-connection')->getDirListing();

// with default connection
$listing = FTP::connection()->getDirListing();
$status = FTP::connection()->makeDir('directory-name');
