It has a 5 second timeout for the connection, to make sure users don't have to wait too long for connection. Edit settings in ftp_connecct as required (host,port,timeout).

<?php
$ftp_conn = ftp_connect('ftp.mysite.com',21,5);
if ($ftp_conn) { echo '<img src="ftponline.gif">'; ftp_close($ftp_conn); }
else { echo '<img src="ftpoffline.gif">'; }
?>
