Using FTP from PHP CURL

I searched for a way to change working directory also, but couldn't find anything.

What ultimately worked for me was including the folder in the CURLOPT_URL. Additionally, the folder alone wasn't enough, I had to include a trailing forward slash /.

So if what worked for me will work for you, then setting the following url structure and CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY should get you the contents of bussys/.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/');curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY, TRUE);

And I didn't need the CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE CWD option to get the nested directories contents.

If you want to work with curl, use CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST options.

See below example code.

$curl = curl_init();curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://192.168.0.129");curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "sru:sru");curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1) ;curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'CWD /a'); // change directorycurl_exec($curl);curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'MLSD'); // get directory list$ftp_result=curl_exec($curl);echo $ftp_result;

It returns

type=dir;modify=20130319024302; test

test is sub directory of a.

I think you have to use ftp_connect rather.
