Learn to connect to a server, create directories dynamically, and change the permissions on the directory using an FTP connection in PHP.

An FTP connection in PHP can be used to manage files and directories in your server. For example, you can use the following methods to create a directory and change the permissions on it:

Create a new connection using ftp_login() method
Use ftp_mkdir() to create the directory.
Use ftp_site() to change permissions on the directory

Example Code:

	Code Snippet 1

$ftp_server="11.101.11.10"; //your server address here
$ftp_user_name = "ftpusername";
$ftp_user_pass = "ftppassword";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

if($login_result) {
  echo "You are now Connected";
  ftp_cdup($conn_id); //go to your parent directory
  ftp_chdir($conn_id,"web"); //then go to web directory
  ftp_chdir($conn_id,"documents"); //then go to documents
  ftp_mkdir($conn_id, "user5"); //create user5 in directory location:
                                              //root/web/documents/
                                              //Thus new location is:
                                              //root/web/documents/user5
  //change the file permissions on the new folder
  ftp_site($conn_id,"CHMOD 0777 " . "user5");
  ftp_close($conn_id); //close the connection
}
else {
  echo "Unable to connect";
}
