Realy strange PHP FTP problem

________

I got a realy strange PHP FTP problem.

<?php



// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect("server");

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "user", "pass");

// get the file list for /
$buff = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, '.');

// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);

// output the buffer
var_dump($buff);

?>

That code works on some servers, but not all. WHY?!?! 😕

I have also tried to add ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
But that don't work either.

HELP 😕

Both the connect and login are correct, I have testet it:
if($conn_id and $login_result)

It might be that the '.' entry was disabled, though I cant find the place where I read about something like that, so I cant confirm.
Also, the '.' entry doesnt always correpond to the root directory.

Cant you use:

<?php
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect("server");

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "user", "pass");

// get the file list for current directory
$buff = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, ftp_pwd($conn_id));

// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);

// output the buffer
var_dump($buff);
?>

Oh... sorry. I did not explain it correctly.
I try to connect to the same FTP account - it is the script that don't work on all serveres! Thats why it is so strange!

um, I didnt say that you were connecting to a different FTP account.

I said that
1. it might be possible that the '.' entry was disabled.
2. The '.' entry doesnt necessaryly correspond to the root directory, '/'.

A possible solution I suggested was to use ftp_pwd() to get the current directory.

Thats whats makes the problem so strange. The scripts works when I run it from three servers I got, but not from the other two. It connects to the same FTP account.
