Hi there, Does anybody know why my script dies after calling the function: ftp_connect($host) I am building an FTP site, but got stuck here.  I have to comment out the rest of my code, because it just dies after calling that function: Here is what I have: $host = 'ftp.cs.rmit.edu.au';             $conn = ftp_connect($host) or die("Couldn't connect to ftp server"); //connect to host if(!$conn) { echo "Error: could not connect to ftp server<br>"; } echo "Connected to {$host} <br>"; I commented out everything and just left the ftp_connect function.  I know it dies right there, because I tried to echo a simple statement, and it just doesn't get past the ftp_connect function Please help me. Thanks! Alberto
