The problem is that the developer cannot use this ftp_rawlist in case
the directory do not exist. In that case, ftp_nlist will return false
(unreliable result) and ftp_rawlist return Array() which is again
unreliable.

The best fix would be that ftp_nlist return false when the directory
does not exist, and Array() when directory is empty.

It seems that ftp_rawlist has the corrected behaviour and it is
returning an empty array.

ftp_nlist returns false on empty directories instead of empty array
