(PHP 3>= 3.0.13, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

ftp_pasv -- Turns passive mode on or off

## Description

bool ftp_pasv ( resource ftp_stream, bool pasv)

ftp_pasv() turns on passive mode if the `pasv` parameter is `TRUE`. It turns off passive mode if `pasv` is `FALSE`. In passive mode, data connections are initiated by the client, rather than by the server.

Example 1. ftp_pasv() example
`<?php $file = 'somefile.txt'; $remote_file = 'readme.txt'; // set up basic connection $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); // login with username and password $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); // turn passive mode on ftp_pasv($conn_id, true); // upload a file if (ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_ASCII)) { echo "successfully uploaded $file\n"; } else { echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n"; } // close the connection ftp_close($conn_id); ?>`

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.
