My FTP-Server always responded "bool(false)" instead of presenting me a directory-listing. I had to add
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true); right after the $login_result = ftp_login(...); line.
After that it just worked fine.

I used following code successfully to connect to "lftp" server and see the complete dir listing.
also ftp_pasv($conn_id, true); trick works fine for lftp server :)

<?php
// set up basic connection
$ftp_server = "example.com";
$conn_id = ftp_ssl_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$ftp_user_name = "myuser";
$ftp_user_pass = "mypass";
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
ftp_pasv($conn_id, true);
// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
        echo
"FTP connection has failed!";
        echo
"Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
        exit;
    } else {
        echo
"Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
    }

$buff = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, '.');
var_dump($buff);
ftp_close($conn_id); 
?>
