Description:
------------
After upgrading to PHP 5.2.2 on my RH9-machine the following error warning occurs on post-script files using ftp_get:

Warning: ftp_get() [function.ftp-get]: PORT command successful

As a result, the post-script file won't be downloaded to my machine.

If I do a downgrade to < PHP5.2.2, everything works perfectly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
	$ftpcnn = ftp_connect("ftp-server", "4559");
	
	// login with username and password
	$ftprs = ftp_login($ftpcnn, "user", "passwd");
	
	// check connection
	if( (!$ftpcnn) || (!$ftprs) )
	{
		echo "FTP connection has failed!<br />";
		exit;
	}
	
	
	// Firstly download txt-file
	ftp_get( $ftpcnn, "/mydir/txtfile", "/ftpdir/txtfileonftp", FTP_BINARY );
	
	// ---- Do some extra stuff -----------------------
	// Get the name of the postscript-file
	$lines = file( "mydir/txtfile" );

	foreach( $lines as $line )
	{
		if( strstr($line, "!postscript") !== FALSE )	// ea. $line = "!postscript:0::docq/doc1764.ps"
		{
			$temp = explode( ":", $line );
			
			$psfile = $temp[3];
		}
	}
	// --- End some extra stuff -------------------


	// Code which causes the warning:
	// Warning: ftp_get() [function.ftp-get]: PORT command successful.

	// Download the ps file
	ftp_get( $ftpcnn, "/mydir/psfile", $psfile, FTP_BINARY ); 
	
	// close the connection
	ftp_close( $ftpcnn );

Expected result:
----------------
// Downloading of a file specified by arguments in ftp_get()

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: ftp_get() [function.ftp-get]: PORT command successful

File won't be downloaded

Where can we reproduce it?
 [2007-05-11 06:00 UTC] guy dot vleugels at kaneka dot be
To be honest, there is no real location to reproduce this possible bug, because the website is only on our companie's intranet.
 [2007-05-11 08:06 UTC] tony2001@php.net
Is there a public FTP server (or is it possible to create one) which demonstrates the same problem?
 [2007-05-11 09:15 UTC] guy dot vleugels at kaneka dot be
This should be a working example with existing files on our ftp-server.
It reproduces the possible bug.

Please change "<aCertainDirectory>" with a directory which is writable for you php-user.

// ---------------------------------------------------------------

	// ftp connection
	$ftpcnn = ftp_connect("ftp.kaneka.be", "21");
	
	// login with username and password
	$ftprs = ftp_login($ftpcnn, "anonymous", "myemailaddress");
	
	// check connection
	if( (!$ftpcnn) || (!$ftprs) )
	{
		echo "FTP connection has failed!<br />";
		echo "Attempted to connect to the build-in ftp server of Hylafax!";
		exit;
	}
	
	
	// Download q-file which contains name of ps-file
	ftp_get( $ftpcnn, "<aCertainDirectory>/q1950", "/pub/q1950", FTP_ASCII );

	// Get the name of the postscript-file which contains the actual document data
	$lines = file( "<aCertainDirectory>/q1950" );	// file ? Reads entire file into an array
	
	
	foreach( $lines as $line )
	{
		if( strstr($line, "!postscript") !== FALSE )	// ea. $line = "!postscript:0::docxxxx.ps"
		{
			$temp = explode( ":", $line );
			
			$psfile = $temp[3];
			
			echo $psfile;
		}
	}	
	
	
	// Download the ps file 
	ftp_get( $ftpcnn, "<aCertainDirectory>/$psfile", "/pub/$psfile", FTP_ASCII ); // ftp_get() retrieves a remote file from the FTP server, and saves it into a local file.
	
	
	// close the connection
	ftp_close( $ftpcnn );

// ---------------------------------------------------------

The server is in passive mode, so your starts working fine as soon as I add ftp_pasv($ftpcnn, true);.

Running PHP 5.0.4 (from www.entropy.ch) on Mac OS X 10.4.9

I am also seeing this error but on just about all ftp commands.

I suspect some ftp servers return a status string "PORT command successful" which php is passing along as a warning but since this message is not intended as a warning it is annoying to receive the "error".  Trying to block the unwanted error with the at symbol is not ideal since that would deflect genuine errors too.
 [2007-06-07 07:33 UTC] guy dot vleugels at kaneka dot be
I've found what seemed to be the problem.

When a text-file is downloaded through the ftp_get()-function and the file is loaded into an array using the file()-function, the separate lines of the array aren't trimmed by default (so you have to use the trim()-function on each line of the array).

So this isn't a bug, but only a behaviour change of the file()-function or the ftp_get()-function as of PHP > 5.2.1

I got this problem while using my ftp-server on funpic.de

Thats a free hosting service (so you can use it to reproduce that exeption) from 
that it produces those errors for me, too.

XAMPP 1.7.4; PHP 5.3.5; linux

2 my last comment - it works fine using pasive mode and it takes mutch shorter 
(nonpassive: ~ 90sec+ ; passive: ~ 5sec - same operation - note, that nonpassive 
is not sucessfull)
