    The cURL extension has FTP support. I think that could help you.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your help. So, isn't there any way to read the XML file directly from FTP? I know I can download the XML source file to the server and can parse it but I am looking for something where I can directly read XML from FTP.

    Best Regards,

    If you mean the file is on some other server and you want your server's script to be able to grab the contents of that file, cURL (as Litewebsite mentioned) is your best bet. cURL supports the file transfer protocol (as well as plenty of others).
