The ftp_ssl_connect() function opens a secure SSL-FTP connection.When the connection is open, you can run FTP functions against the server.
resource ftp_ssl_connect ( string $host [, int $port = 21 [, int $timeout = 90 ]] )
ftp_ssl_connect() opens an explicit SSL-FTP connection to the specified host. That implies that ftp_ssl_connect() will succeed even if the server is not configured for SSL-FTP, or its certificate is invalid. Only when ftp_login() is called, the client will send the appropriate AUTH FTP command, so ftp_login() will fail in the mentioned cases.
