# ftp_set_option

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0)

ftp_set_option -- Set miscellaneous runtime FTP options

## Description

bool ftp_set_option ( resource ftp_stream, int option, mixed value)

> Note: This function is only available in CVS.

Returns `TRUE` if the option could be set; `FALSE` if not. A warning message will be thrown if the `option` is not supported or the passed `value` doesn't match the expected value for the given `option`.

This function controls various runtime options for the specified FTP stream. The `value` parameter depends on which `option` parameter is chosen to be altered. Currently, the following options are supported:

Table 1. Supported runtime FTP options

FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC | Changes the timeout in seconds used for all network related functions. `value` must be an integer that is greater than 0. The default timeout is 90 seconds.
FTP_AUTOSEEK | When enabled, GET or PUT requests with a `resumepos` or `startpos` parameter will first seek to the requested position within the file. This is enabled by default.

Example 1. ftp_set_option() example

    // Set the network timeout to 10 seconds
    ftp_set_option($conn_id, FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC, 10);
