Depends on the machine you are connecting to, but there are a whole raft of
them.
rexec, rpc, rsh, ssh (I've even invoked perl under php to gain access to
perls telnet command, could never get one to work in PHP, seems there is
some handshaking missing (will/wont, can/cant, etc)). Secure Shell (ssh) is
becoming the preferred method in lots of shops, but if connectivity is
behind a firewall, then any of the others should do just fine.
To find out what is available on the destination machine, signon to it and
look for the deamon processes (rexecd, rshd, etc [don't know them all]).
Note that none of these are PHP functions, you will need to code exec("rsh
...") or something like that to execute the appropriate client (and yes
windows versions of these clients are available if your server is a windows
platform).
BTW, I've never used the SITE command that way with FTP (maybe doesn't mean
much), but I have used SITE JES to connect ftp to mainframe reader/writer,
and followed it with a get specifying a JCL file on the mainframe to be
submitted and spool output to be retrieved as my resulting file. Perhaps
this might provide a few clues.
hope this helps.

Subject: [PHP] looking for remote execution command
is there another command similar to
ftp_exec(), but outside ftp? I tried ftp_exec() and it doesn't work
ftp_exec($conn, 'ls -al'): ERROR: SITE ls -al is not understood.
Thanks.
