> if $directory contains '+' nothing is returned

Maybe a problem with the FTP server? This script is working for me with PHP5.2.9/Windows/BSD:
<?php
$ftp_server    = 'ftp.perl.org';
$ftp_user_name = 'anonymous';
$ftp_user_pass = 'guest';
$directory     = '/pub/gnu/commonc++'; // contains '+'

$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
$contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, $directory);
ftp_close($conn_id);

var_dump($contents);
?>

Carsten

There are several things that might be going wrong:

a) buggy ftp server
b) firewall settings (see bug #47110)

The above test script works fine for me as long as I replace the server 
with 'ftp.funet.fi' and directory with '/pub/gnu/gnu/commonc++'
