[sork] Forwards and Vacation fail to connect to ftp server.

[Pape, Michael J. (sysadm)]

I moved from 4.1.2 to 4.2.3 when I upgraded to apache_2.0.43. 

For my test environment I'm using the latest horde/imp cvs, but for my
production environment, I'm using Horde: 2.1 and IMP: 3.1.

Incidentally, I tried the same fix in the horde 2.1 ftp.php
(horde/lib/Auth/ftp.php), and it didn't work. However, at this point I'm
going to move the new horde tree over once I get the turba_objects table
updated.

The manual says:

So, it is new as of PHP 4.2, and it is supposed to be optional!  What
php version are you running?

It sounds like we might want to set it via ftp_set_option() rather than 
in the ftp_connect() if that works.

I'm not seeing any problems with php 4.2 myself.  What version are you
running?
