Determines which method to use for reading, writing, modifying, or deleting files on the filesystem.
Description
The priority of the transports are: Direct, SSH2, FTP PHP Extension, FTP Sockets (Via Sockets class, or fsockopen()
). Valid values for these are: ‘direct’, ‘ssh2’, ‘ftpext’ or ‘ftpsockets’.
The return value can be overridden by defining the FS_METHOD
constant in wp-config.php
, or filtering via ‘filesystem_method’.
Parameters
$args
arrayoptional- Connection details.
Default:
array()
$context
stringoptional- Full path to the directory that is tested for being writable.
Default:
''
$allow_relaxed_file_ownership
booloptional- Whether to allow Group/World writable.
Default:
false
