sometimes it is necessary to set:
ftp_set_option($this->connection_id, FTP_USEPASVADDRESS, false)
before you set:
ftp_pasv($this->connection_id, $state)
I have yet to find a resolution to this; but I notice the ftp_mlsd command is limited in the number of files it will grab at once. For me it ranged between 7,500 and 8,500 files. Seems to me there is some max duration it will query for and what you get is a function of how fast the files can be enumerated.
