PHP FTP Introduction

The FTP functions give client access to file servers through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The FTP functions are used to open, login and close connections, as well as upload, download, rename, delete, and get information on files from file servers. Not all of the FTP functions will work with every server or return the same results. The FTP functions became available with PHP 3. These functions are meant for detailed access to an FTP server.

Over fifty different analysis "methodologies" are being promoted by different experts. Sometimes the main differences were just whether diagrams used circles or boxes to describe things. And the word "wars" is really pretty accurate. These guys were at each other's throats, in a non-violent, academic sort of way. A peace treaty of sorts was finally found when the same company, Rational Software, hired three of the most influential experts and, in the words of one of them, a "critical mass" was created. They all agreed to support the same methodology and UML was born. More recently, IBM bought Rational Software and when that happened, Microsoft's enthusiasm for UML cooled a lot .
