PHP library that wraps the FTP extension functions in an OOP way and more compatible with old FTP servers.

lazzard/php-ftp-client is more low-level abstraction and addressed to beginners and intermediates users, that can make sense only in an FTP/FTPS context like 'keepAlive', 'getSystem', 'isFeatureSupported', 'getFeatures', and classes like FtpCommand which wraps the FTP extension functions that can be used to send FTP commands to the server, Also, I think the lazzard/php-ftp-client provides simple API methods for uploading/downloading in comparison with Flysystem.
