 * I have setup a wordpress website on my windows server 2019 installation via web
   platform installer. after some fiddling around to get rid of the 500.0 error 
   i wanted to backup the wordpress installation, so i used updraft. When i wanted
   to setup updraft with ftp i got the following message: Your web server’s PHP 
   installation has these functions disabled: ftp_connect, ftp_login, ftp_nb_fput.
   
   how do i enable these functions? i already searched it on google but they are
   all saying that i should contact the hosting company or it administrator. but
   i am the hoster and automatically the administrator. can someone help?
