download a file from ftp using curl and php

Question

I\'m trying to download a file from an ftp server using curl and php but I can\'t find any documentation to help

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURL         


        

Answer 1

Community response works with minor adjustment :

It appears that setting CURLOPT_FILE before setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER doesn't work, presumably because CURLOPT_FILE depends on CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER being set.
