PHP ftp_nb_get()Functions
Complete PHP FTP Reference Manual
Definition and Usage
The ftp_nb_get() function downloads a file from the FTP server and saves it to a local file. (Non-blocking)
This function returns one of the following values:
- FTP_FAILED (sending/getting failed)
- FTP_FINISHED (sending/getting successful)
- FTP_MOREDATA (sending/getting in progress)
Unlike ftp_get(), this function fetches the file asynchronously. This means your program can perform other operations while the file is being downloaded.
