EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      ftp_rawlist(3) example

	      <?php

	      // set up basic connection
	      $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

	      // login with username and password
	      $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

	      // get the file list for /
	      $buff = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, '/');

	      // close the connection
	      ftp_close($conn_id);

	      // output the buffer
	      var_dump($buff);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      array(3) {
		[0]=>
		string(65) "drwxr-x---	 3 vincent  vincent	 4096 Jul 12 12:16 public_ftp"
		[1]=>
		string(66) "drwxr-x---	15 vincent  vincent	 4096 Nov  3 21:31 public_html"
