php ftp connection - close at the end of the script? I want a persistent connection?

Question

it looks php closes FTP connection at the end of the executed script, just like with database connection, how to create persistent connection?

I want to do a little client, and not to connect/disconnect everytime. To get speed and dont overload the server. Got it? :) — user893856, Oct 26 '11 at 18:34
php is a poor choice of language to use to create an ftp client. — , Oct 26 '11 at 18:35

wouldn't hold your breath for this to get implemented as the ticket has been open since 2001 – Phill Pafford Oct 26 '11 at 18:38
@Phill I know. But I had to link that, just to see that he isn't the first wanting this feature – genesis Oct 26 '11 at 18:40
