Description
From manual page: https://php.net/ftp.installation
This page states that the FTP extension is always built as a shared extension on Windows. However, due to changes made to the source code in 2016, it is enabled as a static-link extension by default.
The history can be found in the following:
https://github.com/php/php-src/commits/master/ext/ftp/config.w32
