Open FTP file Issue

I am trying to open ftp file using below lines,

 $con = ftp_connect(myhost);
                if (!$con) {
                throw new Exception('Unable to connect');
                }   
    $loggedIn = ftp_login($con,  'user',  'pass');
    if ($loggedIn) {
                    if(ftp_get($con, test.csv, "ftp://myhost/test.csv", FTP_ASCII))
                       echo 'in';
                    else 
                       echo 'out';
                   }

Then I am getting error

ftp_get(): File not found

but if I ran ftp path in browser it fetches file correctly.

can anyone guide me in correct path ?? Thanks in advance

Your best bet is to go with ftp_get():

$con = ftp_connect(myhost);

// try to download $server_file and save to $local_file
if (ftp_get($con, 'file_to_save_to.csv', 'test.csv', FTP_BINARY)) {
    echo "Successfully written";
} else {
    echo "There was a problem\n";
}

As @Gordon stated in the comments:

FTP is an insecure protocol. The credentials are passed in clear text to the server and can be sniffed. Consider using SFTP or another more secure solution.
