Is there a cake method to send an xml file to ftp server ?  
I am trying :

$ftp\_conn = ftp\_connect($ftp\_server) or die();  
$login = ftp\_login($ftp\_conn, ‘login\_name’, ‘pwd’);  
ftp\_put($ftp\_conn, $filename . ‘.xml’, $myFile, FTP\_ASCII);  
ftp\_close($ftp\_conn);

But it does not work. Error :  
ftp\_put(): bind() failed: Permission denied (13)

You never check the return value of `ftp_login`. From the “permission denied” error, I’m guessing that the login is failing.

Thank you for this answer.  
In fact, I was not told that the server was in passive mode.  
I called the maintenance department and I added  
ftp\_pasv($conn\_id, true);

Thank you again.
