OK we've established a couple of things:
1) You have error reporting enabled - this is most important!
2) The ftp functions are compiled in
One thing that you should do when debugging is to plug in static values rather
than using $variables, thus:
$connection = ftp_connect('remote.ftpserver.com', 21);
This will eliminate the cases where your $variables have inadvertently been
changed between them being defined and them being used. And it will eliminate
the cases where you have defined it as $variable and try to use it as
$variabel.
If that is not the problem then the best way to resolve this is to escalate
the issue with your host. There are other tests that can be done which will
help determine whether outgoing FTP is indeed blocked. Eg you can try to ftp
to the webserver itself - this will usually eliminate firewall issues. But it
will be much quicker to work together with your host.
