Description:
------------
ftp_nlist does not work anymore, nor does ftp_rawlist.
Code that used ftp_nlist worked fine on PHP 4.3.9 and simply copying the code to a server running PHP 5.0.3 breaks it.  

The /tmp directory's mode/permissions is set to 777



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// Get FTP file list
$ftpconn = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
if ($ftpconn) {
	if (ftp_login($ftpconn, 'username', 'password')) {
		$path = '/this/same/task/works/fine/with/a/url/wrapper/';
		
		$files = ftp_nlist($ftpconn, $path);
		foreach ($files AS $filelist) {
			echo $filelist.'<br>';
		}
	}
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
this/same/task/works/fine/with/a/url/wrapper/file1.txt
this/same/task/works/fine/with/a/url/wrapper/file2.txt
this/same/task/works/fine/with/a/url/wrapper/file3.txt
this/same/task/works/fine/with/a/url/wrapper/file4.txt

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /documentroot_path/ftpBUG.php on line 9

This works fine for me (tm):

<?php
// Get FTP file list
$ftpconn = ftp_connect('ftp.funet.fi');
if ($ftpconn) {
 if (ftp_login($ftpconn, 'username', 'password')) {
   $path = '/pub/Linux/';
   $files = ftp_nlist($ftpconn, $path);
   foreach ($files AS $filelist) {
     echo $filelist, "\n";
   }
 }
}
?>

I tried the code you provided and it failed for me with the same error.  I'll try again when we upgrade to 5.0.4 or 5.0.5 and see if it works then.

We found out that what was causing this was the fact that the server that we upgraded also had a firewall installed on it.  

To fix this problem, call ftp_pasv($ftpconn, true); after calling ftp_login($ftpconn,'username','password')
