In order to use FTP functions with your PHP configuration, you should add the `--enable-ftp` option when installing PHP.

In Autotools, the FTP SSL support is enabled implicitly when building together with the `openssl` extension using the `--with-openssl` configure option. When building without `openssl` extension, the `--with-ftp-ssl` Autotools configure option can be used to enable the FTP SSL support explicitly.

On Windows this extension is always built as shared extension and as such has to be enabled in &php.ini;.

&Version; | &Description;
8.4.0 | Autotools configure option `--with-openssl-dir` has been removed in favor of the new `--with-ftp-ssl` that enables the FTP SSL support explicitly when building without the `openssl` extension.
