Is it necessary to enable PHP-FTP in the PHP.INI file for it to function properly?

Enabling PHP-FTP in the PHP.INI file is not necessary for it to function properly. PHP-FTP functions can be used without any additional configuration. However, make sure that the FTP extension is enabled in your PHP installation for FTP functions to work correctly.

// Example code using PHP-FTP functions
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_username = "username";
$ftp_password = "password";

$ftp_connection = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login = ftp_login($ftp_connection, $ftp_username, $ftp_password);

if ($login) {
    echo "Connected to FTP server";
} else {
    echo "Failed to connect to FTP server";
}

ftp_close($ftp_connection);
