Description:
------------
NcFTPd server returns "250 Changed." (not 200 as many other servers):

[root@vps ~]# ftp ****.com
Connected to ****.com (64.***.***.***).
220 ****.com NcFTPd Server (licensed copy) ready.
Name (*****.com:root): ****
331 User test okay, need password.
Password:
230-You are user #1 of 20 simultaneous users allowed.
230-
230 Restricted user logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> cd public_html/test345
250 "/public_html/test345" is new cwd.
ftp> ls page9.php
227 Entering Passive Mode (***,***,**,***,***,**)
150 Data connection accepted from ***.***.***.**:****; transfer starting.
-rwxr-xr-x   1 test   test       14637 Jul 28 00:06 page9.php
226 Listing completed.
ftp> chmod 777 page9.php
250 Changed.
ftp> ls page9.php
227 Entering Passive Mode (*****)
150 Data connection accepted from ****:46124; transfer starting.
-rwxrwxrwx   1 test   test       14637 Jul 28 00:06 page9.php
226 Listing completed.

Code "250" looks as valid for such operations:
250 - Requested file action okay, completed.

But ftp_chmode returns "true" only for code 200.

Test script:
---------------
Just try ftp_chmod for any file on NcFTPd server. Permissions successfully changed but result is "false".
Not sure if any other servers returns 250, but I've tested on ncftpd-2.8.3-freebsd6.0-i386-export.tar.gz.

Expected result:
----------------
Expect "true" for successful ftp_chmod on NcFTPd server.

Actual result:
--------------
ftp_chmod always returns false.

As workaround:
ftp_site($connectHandler, sprintf('CHMOD %o %s', $mode, $absolutePath));

Well, it is not, according to RFC 959[1].

Funny flashback to 6 years back, but why not?

Quote from this RFC:
"250 Requested file action okay, completed."

So, it still looks as valid code for such operations.

If I'm not mistaken, the FTP chmod is implemented via the SITE
command, and RFC 959 lists the possible success replies of this
command as 200 and 202[1].

Anyhow, as I've stated in bug #64841:

| I'm not sure whether we should be more liberal in what we
| accept.

This topic warrants some discussion on the internals@ mailing
list.
