Question

how do I know on which platform is running my server: Unix or Windows server ? I have only access to ftp, is there any php code to know it ?

thanks

Answer 1

You have ftp access means you have the IP Address.

You would love to use NMAP.

Example OS detection.

PHP CODE

echo PHP_OS;

Try above code here.

Answer 2

ftp_systype() might be able to tell you to some (unknown) degree of accuracy.
