That wasn't my advice.  My advice was to install the CVS RELENG code of
vacation which would work fine with the stable releases of horde et al.

Did you configure the ftp the same way in Hore and vacation/forwards?  For
example, always use either "localhost" or the FQDN or whatever?

I'm not sure, but I think that means it probably did connect to the service,
but failed the login (I'd have to check the code to refresh my memory to be
sure, and I don't have time right now).  If you enable ftp server logging,
you should hopefully get an error message that might be useful (like bad
username, permission denied, bad password, etc).

Unless you use different host names (like localhost vs FQDN) in the two,
then it should work.  If it isn't, it is likely an issue such as username
including/excluding the domain in one version, or something like that.

You're ftp logs would be very useful in this case.

Let me know if you have ftp logs, can enable them, don't have any access
to them, etc. and we'll work from there.
