I am using the following format in php code to download files from ftp server.
file_put_contents[
$filePath.$fileName, file_get_contents[
ftp://username:password@server_name/folder_name/xyz#123.csv.zip
]
];
I am getting an 550 error as the file name contains '#'. How to avoid the error. Also what is the best PHP class to do different operations on FTP ?

Try:
$output = exec["wget -N ftp:///path/to directory/file 2>&1 |grep 'filename w/o extension'|grep -v ftp|grep -v ="];
print $output

Welcome to a quick tutorial on how to upload and download files through FTP using PHP. Need to manage some files on a server through an automated script? To upload and download files using PHP FTP, we just need to enable the FTP extension in php.ini and use it accordingly: $ftp = ftp_connect["HOST"];ftp_login[$ftp, "USER", "PASSWORD"];ftp_get[$ftp, "DESTINATION", "SOURCE", FTP_BINARY];ftp_put[$ftp, "DESTINATION", "SOURCE", FTP_BINARY];ftp_close[$ftp];
That should cover the basics, but let us walk through a few actual examples in this guide – Read on!
ⓘ I have included a zip file with all the source code at the start of this tutorial, so you don’t have to copy-paste everything… Or if you just want to dive straight in.

- Please make sure that the FTP and cURL extensions are enabled in
php.iniaccordingly –extension=ftpandextension=curl. - Captain Obvious. Remember to change the FTP settings to your own in the example scripts below.
- This is only tested on the Filezilla FTP server and PHP 8.
