Okay. More information.

I have the followinf script running under W2K Advanced Server, IIS5 


$conn = ftp_connect("localhost");
ftp_login($conn, "ftptest", "ftptest");
$nlist = ftp_nlist($conn, "");
$rawlist = ftp_rawlist($conn, "");

echo "<pre>";
echo "Values from ftp_nlist()<BR>";
print_r($nlist);
echo "Values from ftp_rawlist()<BR>";
print_r($rawlist);
echo "</pre>";

The result of this PHP script execution is the output of nothing. Under this account's home folder there are 3 sub-folders 'Inbound', 'Outbound' and 'Archive'. Also there are 3 files '1.txt', '2.txt' and '3.txt'. 

If I change the 'localhost' reference in the connect statement the script does report the expected results. Actually any connection to a remote server either of type Windows or Unix seems to work. 

What does not work is the connection to the reference 'localhost', '127.0.0.1' etc.

Also, I have tried executing this script under IIS and from a command prompt. The same empty results are reported. Under IIS I have only attempted using the 'php-cgi.exe' or CGI version. I have not attempted the isapi version just because I am unsure of stability for other aspects of my applications.

Enough?

What FTP server are you running on your computer?

IIS 5.0 which is standard on W2K Advanced Server.

Can you manually login to the FTP server running on your server using window's native ftp client, 'ftp' and see if you can execute NLST & LIST commands?

Yes I can. This has always worked.

Since my initial email I have downloaded the PHP 4.3 RC2 from the main PHP.net page. After fighting with the CGI version, I finally setup the ISAPI version and now the ftp_rawlist and nlist seem to work when going against 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'.

Could you confirm that the problem still exists with PHP 4.3.0RC3 when using cgi or cli sapi?

I upgraded to the latest snapshot (see below). I use the ISAPI version and this does work. I then ran into some issues with the current version of phpMySQLAdmin web interface. But I upgraded and all is well. The FTP functions seem to work great for local and remote systems.
