// PHP program to connect and login
// to the FTP server
 
// Initialize ftp server address
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
 
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or
    die("Could not connect to $ftp_server");

$ftp_userpass="john#96";
 
$login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftp_username, $ftp_userpass);

ftp_chdir($ftp_conn, "php");

$ftp_user_pass="john#96";
 
// Login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, 
            $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
 
// Change directory to public_html
ftp_chdir($conn_id, 'public_html');
