When you do FTP its actually two TCP connections, a outgoing to port 21, and
then a incoming. The most common problem with FTP is that the incoming
connection gets blocked by a firewall or NAT. So most people use passive FTP
where instead it makes two outgoing TCP connections.
I think the directory listings are sent over this 2nd connection, so I would
suggest your problem is that the incoming data connection is being blocked
by a firewall on your server. Try to either use passive FTP or to change
your firewall rules.

Subject: ftp_nlist problem
I have a script using some ftp functions that runs just fine on various
server I have tested.
Now that I've installed it om a customer's server, it ( obviously )
stopped working.
claning the script to isolate the problem, I've discovered that the
problem is on the ftp_nlist command that freezes the script execution for
a lot ( and the machine too, like doing an heavy work ) and then returns
an error ( false ). ftp_rawlist has the same problems.
all the previous operations ( connect, login and chdir ) work without
problems.
any idea on where could I check for a solution?
thank you,
Giulio
