Description:
------------
I know there are atleast few bug submittions but they are closed while the problem is still remain.

I run Apache2 as "apache" user that is member of "USERS" group. ftp_rawlist() function returns nothing.
I've checked my FTP logs and all I can see that PHP logs into FTP server and does not sends LIST command.

Windows XP Pro on NTFS + Apache2 + PHP4.3.3 as SAPI module

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$conn = ftp_connect("ftp.symantec.com");
ftp_login($conn,"anonymous","someone@somewhere.com");
$nlist = ftp_nlist($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>";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
List of the dirs

Actual result:
--------------
nothing

ftp_nlist and ftp_rawlist require the ability to create a temporary file.  The user you are running as does not have write premission to your TEMP directory.

This is not a bug in ext/ftp, this is a configuration issue.

Make sure whoever you're running Apache as has read/write/erase permissions in your system's temp directory.

mmm...I'm sorry, but why all the replys where deleted?
it was important, because as I said in my replys, no permission changes for TEMP folders helped!
the only way I could make it work is add write permissions to ENTIRE drive! witch is NOT ACCEPTEBLE, otherwise there is no reason run it under a USER, not as default as SYSTEM.

Is this should be related to Apache itself, then?

P.S. as u (or maybe somebody else @php.net) says, that PHP has no idea where those temp files are being writen, then would it be so difficult to add a specific temp dir that will be set in .ini file (same as for sessions temp files)
This way this issue can be fixed.
thx.

Yes it would be difficult, PHP doesn't create the file, the operating system does.  And I don't know anyone at Microsoft who can introduce that particular patch.

Try the next snapshot though (dated *AFTER* 3/4/2004 21:30 GMT).  This might just suitably workaround the problem.
