warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: .htaccess: Forbidden filename (2)

When you attempt to create a new FTP container you see the following error,

warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: .htaccess: Forbidden filename (2)

This message is thrown when the FTP server doesn't allow files to be named by extension only. So far I've seen this on Windows and Akamai's FTP / CDN. This applies to files named .htaccess and the module attempts to store this file when creating a container.

Line 169 in storage_ftp.module

  if($success)
    $success_ftp = ftp_put($ftp, '.htaccess', $path . '/objects.htaccess', FTP_BINARY);

Line 184 in storage_ftp.module

  if($success)
    $success = ftp_put($ftp, '.htaccess', $path . '/files.htaccess', FTP_BINARY);

These were my quick fixes, It still thorws the original error but it stores a test file and saves the container. It seems to work for me but its not a clean solution.

Line 169 in storage_ftp.module

if($success) {
  
    $success_htaccess = ftp_put($ftp, '.htaccess', $path . '/objects.htaccess', FTP_BINARY);
	
	if(!$success_htaccess) {
	
		$success = ftp_put($ftp, 'objects.htaccess', $path . '/objects.htaccess', FTP_BINARY);
	
	}
  }

Line 184 in storage_ftp.module

  if($success) {
    $success_htaccess = ftp_put($ftp, '.htaccess', $path . '/files.htaccess', FTP_BINARY);
	
	if(!$success_htaccess) {
	
		$success = ftp_put($ftp, 'files.htaccess', $path . '/files.htaccess', FTP_BINARY);
	
	}
  }
