[RESOLVED] Problem in using ftp_choose_dir.php with CentOS 5.4, PHP 5.2.11

[rexsham]

Thanks so much for your help nuwin, it works like a charm now! The wildcard there is really causing the wrong authentication error and screwed up the display on ftp.

motokochan, thanks for your suggestion too, but my PHP is 5.2.11, not 5.3 and the error is not thrown from PHP, I have checked the logs. nuwin is right, I tried with latest stable 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 nightly build and both are reproducing the same error. That wildcard in the proftpd.conf is really causing the problem and that should be filed as a bug.

Attached is the log from my /var/log/secure and it shows the same errors in nuwin's test.

Code:
