Have you enabled FULL error reporting? Are you getting any errors?

Is the server you're connecting to using a non-standard port? If not just 
leave out $port, or make pretty damn sure it's 21.

Do you have shell access to the server? If so you can try using the command 
line 'ftp' to see whether you can connect to the ftpserver.

Are you positive that the host allows FTP out of the webserver (the machine 
not the program) to a remote ftpserver? Make sure the host knows what you're 
trying to do and that they know what they're doing.
