I don't believe the ftps implementation handles implicit ssl connections, having spent 2 days messing to get it to work in both php4 and 5. There is no mention of explicit vs implicit in the docs which backs this up.
I therefore ended up using an alternative ftp implementation class to successfully connect to an implicit ssl ftp server.
It is a php5 class. You can download the class file here:
http://kacke.de/php_samples/source.php?f=ftp.cls.php
It is fairly self explanatory if you read the public functions. Here's a usage example:
<?php
include "ftp.cls.php";
$ftpconn= new ftp();
$ftpconn->debug=true; //Comment out or set to false for silent mode!
// set up basic ssl connection
if(!$ftpconn->ftp_connect("your_ftps_host.com",990,"SSL")) //990 is the standard implicit ssl port
{
echo "Error: <br/>Unable to open SSL connection<br />";
} else {
// login with username and password
if($ftpconn->ftp_login("username", "password"))
{
//Change the directory
$ftpconn->ftp_chdir("/parent/child");
//Upload the file
$ftpconn->ftp_put("remotenamehere.txt",
"pathtofile/localfilenamehere.txt");
$ftpconn->ftp_quit();
echo "Upload Done.<br />";
} else {
echo "Error:<br/>Unabe to login in.<br />";
}
}
?>
Thank you Topi for getting me out of a hole!
ftp_ssl_connect
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
ftp_ssl_connect — Opent een Beveiligde SSL-FTP verbinding
Beschrijving
Geeft een SSL-FTP stream terug het goed ging of anders FALSE.
ftp_ssl_connect() opent een SSL-FTP verbinding naar de aangegeven host . De port parameter geeft een alternatieve poort aan om naar te verbinden. Als hij is weggelaten of op nul is gezet wordt de standaard FTP poort 21 gebruikt.
De timeout parameter geeft de tijd aan van alle netwerk opdrachten waarna hij stopt. Als hij niet wordt meegegeven, wordt de standaard waarde van 90 gebruikt. De tijd kan altijd worden veranderd en uitgelezen met ftp_set_option() en ftp_get_option().
Note: Waarom deze functie niet kan bestaan ftp_ssl_connect() is alleen aanwezig als OpenSSL ondersteuning is aangezet in jouw versie van PHP. Als de functie ongedefinieerd is en je hebt gecompileerd met FTP ondersteuning, dan is dit de rede waarom.
Zie ook ftp_connect()

For those of you that see this for the first time and might be discouraged from having to compile PHP, please take a look at this page: http://www.deciacco.com/blog/archives/124

I wasted a lot of time trying to get FTP over SSL/TLS working in PHP on Windows OS (with precompiled SSL PHP-packages etc.). However, it never worked for me.
I'm happy I found a nice solution now:
using "MovieIt Freely", a commandline FTP-Client, freeware at http://www.standardnetworks.com.
A nice tool that worked on all SSL/TLS-enabled FTP-Server for me.
Its easy to get it to interact with PHP:
a) Create a temporary batch-txt-file and therein write all your commands to be performed
b) then launch the program with exec() or backticks, let MovieIt read the batch-txt-file and forward/write down the log/results in a temporary results-txt-file
c) Finally read the log/results-txt-file
Check the manual for details.
Hope it helps. Cheers!

Since ftp_ssl_connect() requires SSL compiled into PHP, Windows users will need to compile their own PHP this way or download it from another source. Here's one such (and trusted) source:

Just remember: SSL FTP != SFTP
Differences: an SSL FTP connects on port 990, and you need an ftp server which will support this (seems like none in the SuSE linux distribution do). Even if you get this function to work, and it connects ok to a normal FTP server on port 21, data WILL NOT BE ENCRYPTED. If you don't believe me, go sniff it yourself!
