In case of hosting environments, what steps can be taken to address the lack of FTP support in PHP?

In case of hosting environments that lack FTP support in PHP, one solution is to use alternative methods such as cURL or SSH to transfer files. These methods allow for secure file transfers without relying on FTP support. 

// Example using cURL to transfer a file
$localFile = 'localfile.txt';
$remoteFile = 'http://example.com/remotefile.txt';

$ch = curl_init($remoteFile);
$fp = fopen($localFile, 'w');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
