# FTP
`ftp` extension should be enabled in order to use this adapter.
Also, some FTP servers need valid configuration so Gaufrette can work with them as expected.
## Server configuration
Some FTP servers does not show hidden files by default. You will probably need to tweak your server configuration.
### Pure Ftpd
```bash
echo "yes" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DisplayDotFiles
```
### Proftpd
We need to change `ListOptions` in proftpd configuration (at debian system `/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf`) to:
```bash
ListOptions "-la"
```
### Example
The third argument of the `Ftp` adapter is not mandatory, however you can use it to pass configuration options
(port, username, password, etc.):
```php
<?php
use Gaufrette\Adapter\Ftp as FtpAdapter;
use Gaufrette\Filesystem;
$adapter = new FtpAdapter('/media', 'my.host.com', array(
'port' => 21,
'username' => 'my_username',
'password' => 'my_password',
'passive' => true,
'create' => true, // Whether to create the remote directory if it does not exist
'mode' => FTP_BINARY, // Or FTP_TEXT
'ssl' => true,
));
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);
```
