Trying to upload a text file from WordPress website to a remote FTP with standard WordPress Filesystem_API. The connection works fine, but could not upload files to the destination. The PHP standard ftp_put() works fine. File upload is successful using the FileZilla client. It's a plain FTP ( Not TLS, Not SSL )

Tried WordPress Developer guide - for ftpext, ftpsockets

function remote_ftp_upload_using_standard_wp($ftp_profile) {



    global $wp_filesystem;



    require_once ( ABSPATH . '/wp-admin/includes/file.php' );

    $connection_method = 'ftpext';

    $connection_options = array(

        'connection_type' => $connection_method,

        'hostname' => $ftp_profile['server'],

        'username' => $ftp_profile['user_name'],

        'password' => $ftp_profile['password'],

        'port' => $ftp_profile['port'],

    );

    WP_Filesystem($connection_options);



    if (!class_exists("WP_Filesystem_$connection_method")) {



        $abstraction_file = ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-' . $connection_method . '.php';



        if (!file_exists($abstraction_file)) {

            return;

        }



        require_once $abstraction_file;

    }

    $method = "WP_Filesystem_$connection_method";



    $wp_filesystem = new $method($connection_options);

    $wp_filesystem->connect(); // RETURNS TRUE

    //var_dump($wp_filesystem->abspath());exit;

    //$wp_filesystem->touch('/test.txt');

    $wp_filesystem->put_contents('/test.txt', "hello"); // RETURNS FALSE

    //ftp_pasv( $wp_filesystem->link, false );

    return $wp_filesystem;

}

You can call this function with the FTP profile details like this:

php
$ftp_profile = array(
'hostname' => 'ftp.example.com',
'username' => 'ftp_username',
'password' => 'ftp_password',
'port' => 21,
);

if ( remote_ftp_upload_using_standard_wp($ftp_profile) ) {
echo 'File uploaded successfully';
} else {
echo 'Failed to upload file';
}


Make sure to replace the hostname, username, password, and file paths with your actual FTP details and file paths.
