Description:
------------
When running this script on a linux box, it works as expected. CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY will work as well. However, when trying to run this from a Mac, it does not return anything. 

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$ftp_server = 'DOMAIN';
$ftp_user_name = 'USER';
$ftp_user_pass = 'PASS';
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); 
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
$dir = ftp_pwd($conn_id);
$list = ftp_nlist($conn_id, $dir);
print_r($list);
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
I would expect to see a list of files location on the FTP server.

Just tested this on another Mac OS X 10.6.8 running PHP v 5.3.4 and the function works just fine. This could have something to do with Lion (x86_64) based machines.

I tried rebooting my machine in 32 bit mode, and I can get the command line version of this script to work. It still will not work in the browser so I am looking into that. But it definitely appears to be a 64 bit issue.

Found the problem. This is similar to: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28865

To solve do the following:
add this to the php script:
var_dump(getenv(TMPDIR)); exit;

Mine returned a strange tmp dir location or /var/folders

Then I did:
sudo chmod -R 0777 /var/folders

Now it works as expected!

Resolved. Was an issue regarding the environment variable location of the TMPDIR pointing to a location that was not writable.
