$curl = curl_init();
$ftpURL = "ftp://localhost/"
$ftpUsername = "username"
$ftpPassword = "password"
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $ftpURL);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $ftpUsername . ":" . $ftpPassword);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec ($curl);
//Parse your result then use ftp to download the content
