How does the setting of SSL and passive mode affect the FTP connection in PHP, and what are the recommended configurations for successful uploads?

Setting SSL and passive mode in PHP affects the FTP connection by ensuring a secure and reliable transfer of files. To successfully upload files using FTP in PHP with SSL and passive mode, it is recommended to configure the FTP connection with the appropriate settings for SSL and passive mode. 

// Define FTP server settings
$ftp_server = 'ftp.example.com';
$ftp_username = 'username';
$ftp_password = 'password';
$ftp_port = 21;

// Connect to FTP server with SSL and passive mode
$conn_id = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server, $ftp_port);
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);

// Login to FTP server
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_username, $ftp_password);

// Check if connection is successful
if ($conn_id && $login_result) {
    // Upload file to FTP server
    $upload_result = ftp_put($conn_id, 'remote_file.txt', 'local_file.txt', FTP_BINARY);

    // Close FTP connection
    ftp_close($conn_id);

    if ($upload_result) {
        echo 'File uploaded successfully.';
    } else {
        echo 'Failed to upload file.';
    }
} else {
    echo 'Failed to connect to FTP server.';
}
