An FTP\Connection instance.

command

The SITE command. Note that this parameter isn't escaped so there may be some issues with filenames containing spaces and other characters.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The ftp parameter expects an FTP\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected.
