How can PHP connect to a server via FTP and specify a directory for a script?

To connect to a server via FTP and specify a directory for a script in PHP, you can use the built-in FTP functions provided by PHP. You will need to establish an FTP connection to the server, login with the appropriate credentials, change the current directory to the desired location, and then perform any necessary FTP operations. 

// FTP server credentials
$ftp_server = 'ftp.example.com';
$ftp_username = 'username';
$ftp_password = 'password';

// Connect to FTP server
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
if (!$conn_id) {
    die('Could not connect to FTP server');
}

// Login to FTP server
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_username, $ftp_password);
if (!$login_result) {
    die('FTP login failed');
}

// Change directory to desired location
$directory = '/path/to/directory/';
if (!ftp_chdir($conn_id, $directory)) {
    die('Failed to change directory');
}

// Perform FTP operations in the specified directory
// For example, list files in the directory
$files = ftp_nlist($conn_id, '.');
print_r($files);

// Close FTP connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
