FTP

First, you will need to install the adapter:

composer require gaufrette/ftp-adapter

ftp extension should be enabled in order to use this adapter. Also, some FTP servers need valid configuration so Gaufrette can work with them as expected.

Server configuration

Some FTP servers does not show hidden files by default. You will probably need to tweak your server configuration.

Pure Ftpd

echo "yes" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DisplayDotFiles

Proftpd

We need to change ListOptions in proftpd configuration (at debian system /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf) to:

ListOptions  "-la"

Example

The third argument of the Ftp adapter is not mandatory, however you can use it to pass configuration options (port, username, password, etc.):

<?php

use Gaufrette\Adapter\Ftp as FtpAdapter;
use Gaufrette\Filesystem;

$adapter = new FtpAdapter('/media', 'my.host.com', array(
    'port'     => 21,
    'username' => 'my_username',
    'password' => 'my_password',
    'passive'  => true,
    'create'   => true, // Whether to create the remote directory if it does not exist
    'mode'     => FTP_BINARY, // Or FTP_TEXT
    'ssl'      => true,
));
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);
