Description:
------------
When I use the ftp_rawlist, the output is empty when the path contains "[". For example, "/tmp/[test]". But others is OK. Please help !

Reproduce code:
---------------
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect("x.x.x.x");

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "username", "password");
	
// get contents of the current directory
$contents = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, "/tmp/[test]");

//output
var_dump($contents);

Obviously your ftp-server fails when this character appear in the path.
Try using any ftp client and you'll see the same.
Not PHP problem.

But there is no problem when I change to use ftp_nlist function instead of. And it is success to get into the path "/tmp/[test]" from other FTP server, for example, "WS_FTP". so I believe that my server is OK for FTP browsing with "[" character inside.
