connecting to a secure ftp server
anybody here knows how to connect to a secure ftp server using php.

i've been trying to use php's ftp functions, but i cant seem to get it to work. my script always times out (Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ...) at the connection line - ftp_connect() - even if i change the max time.

help anyone?

The built in ftp functions do not support that. You'll have to use curl

Well, it doesn't directly support SFTP. You would have to open a SSH tunnel (using ssh -L localport:remotehost:remoteport) then opening a connection to the local port with FTP. Of course the remote host has to be configured for this as well.
