I just had a "duh" moment. My server allows me to connect via sftp (ssh)
and ssl ftp. When i tested it before, it was w/ sftp, however, when i
connected via the php script, it was ssl. I just connected using an ssl-ftp
client on my computer and it works fine. my question remains the same,
however, i just wanted to clarify what i tested before.
