Download files from ftp server in PHP

I am using the following format in php code to download files from ftp server.

file_put_contents(
            $filePath.$fileName, file_get_contents(
                ftp://username:password@server_name/folder_name/xyz#123.csv.zip
            )
);

I am getting an 550 error as the file name contains '#'. How to avoid the error. Also what is the best PHP class to do different operations on FTP ?

Download All files with original same name from FTP server and save to local

<?php

$localFilePath = "/home/public_html/media/import/";
 
$ftp_server = "xxx"; 
$ftp_user_name = "xx"; 
$ftp_user_pass = "xxx";

$start_time = microtime(true);

true == (
$data = @
    file_get_contents('ftp://username:password@server_name/folder_name/xyz#123.csv')
    )
        ?
    file_put_contents('xyz#123.csv', $data)
        :

Try:

$output = exec("wget -N ftp://[email protected]/path/to directory/file 2>&1 |grep 'filename w/o extension'|grep -v ftp|grep -v =");
print $output <to check if file downloaded or not>

Use this

<?php

// define some variables
$local_file = 'filename.jpg';
$server_file = 'filename.jpg';
$ftp_server="www.abc.com";
$ftp_user_name="username";
$ftp_user_pass="password";

$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// try to download $server_file and save to $local_file
if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) {
    echo "Successfully written to $local_file\n";
}
else {
    echo "There was a problem\n";
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);

?>
