This class can send ZIP file with backup of files to a FTP server.

It creates a temporary ZIP archive with the contents of a list of local files.

The class can send the created ZIP archive to a given FTP server. It can retry sending the file a given number of attempts if it fails for some reason.

After sending the file, the class compares the hash of the local ZIP file with the remote file to determine if it succeeded.

The log of the executed actions displayed and outputted to a log file.

Number 2

Prize: One copy of VS.PHP		 All Web sites should have a backup process in place, just in case their information is lost due to incidents that may happen in the future.

It is better to send backup information to a separate machine, so when the site information is lost, the backup information is safe and can be used to recover the lost information.

This class implements an extensive backup solution that can gather several files in a single ZIP file that is sent to another machine using FTP.

It is a robust solution because it can recover from transmission failures. At the end it can verify the integrity of the transmitted file by comparing the hash of its contents with the original file hash.
