There can be various reasons why the ftp_ssl_connect function may not be working in PHP. Here are some possible troubleshooting steps:

Ensure that the OpenSSL extension is enabled in your PHP configuration . You can verify this by creating a PHP file with the following code:


<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Run this script on your web server and check whether the OpenSSL extension is included in the output.

<?php
// Example code to check if OpenSSL extension is enabled
if (extension_loaded('openssl')) {
echo "OpenSSL extension is enabled";
} else {
echo "OpenSSL extension is not enabled";
}
?>
Check whether you have installed the correct SSL certificate on your server . A wrong installation of the SSL certificate can cause the FTP SSL connection to fail. You can validate this by connecting to the FTP server using a regular FTP client and confirming that the SSL certificate is valid.


<?php
// Example code to connect to an FTP server with SSL using the ftp_ssl_connect function
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_username = "username";
$ftp_password = "password";
$ftp_port = 21;

// Create an FTP SSL connection
$conn_id = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server, $ftp_port);

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

// Close the FTP connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

Check if there are any firewalls or other security measures on your server that could be blocking the FTP SSL connection . To troubleshoot this, try temporarily disabling the firewall or adding an exception for the FTP port to see if it fixes the issue.

Confirm if the FTP server requires a particular SSL protocol or cipher suite . Try specifying these settings in the ftp_ssl_connect function to see if it resolves the problem


<?php
// Example code to connect to an FTP server with SSL using a specific protocol and cipher suite
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_username = "username";
$ftp_password = "password";
$ftp_port = 21;
$ssl_protocol = "SSLv3";
$cipher_suite = "RC4-SHA";

// Create an FTP SSL connection with specific protocol and cipher suite
$conn_id = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server, $ftp_port, 10, array('ssl' => array('protocol' => $ssl_protocol, 'ciphers' => $cipher_suite)));

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

// Close the FTP connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
