PHP: ftp_ssl_connect wont work?

Question

is there anything i've missed on the PHP manual. the difference between ftp_connect and ftp_ssl_connect is just the method-name, right.

somehow i'm not able to connect to my ftp-server with ftp_ssl_connect but with ftp_connect everything works fine. I'm using the exact same code.

any ideas what i could do wrong here?

regards matt

This might be causing a problem:

Since ftp_ssl_connect() requires SSL compiled into PHP, Windows users will need to compile their own PHP this way or download it from another source.

Heres how to do it on linux:

Heres Windows:

The above guides are for setting up SSL (e.g. https ) and may be overkill but they should detail how to compile SSL into PHP.
