One of two problems.  

First cause would be if you don't have ftp support in your php.  Run the
horde/test.php script and check if you have ftp support.  If not, install it.

Second cause would be if you are running the tarball release of vacation, 
with PHP 4.2?  AFAIK, his only occurs with PHP 4.2 and above, and was fixed
in CVS a while back (back when PHP 4.2 came out).  If so, either upgrade to
a newer CVS version (RELENG_2) of vacation, or edit vacation.php and remove
the quotes from around any references to "FTP_ASCII".  (That is, change
"FTP_ASCII" to FTP_ASCII).  I think it only occurs once in the file, but
not sure...

can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
