Square brackets in paths when working via FTP via PHP?

Question

PHP

Get a list of files in a directory. I use:

$conn_id = ftp_connect('ftp-serv');
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, 'login', 'pass');
$buff = ftp_rawlist($conn_id,$path);
print_r($buff);
ftp_close($conn_id);

(php 5.3.3)
Only works if there are no square brackets ([]) in the path. If present in $path (e.g. 'home/['), ftp_rawlist($conn_id,$path) is an empty array (regardless of whether the directory exists), not a list of files, or an error. Tell me how to escape these characters, or what needs to be done for correct operation?

Mb help screening?
Then curl should help:

$login = '';
$pass = '';
$server = 'ftp.com';
$ch = curl_init('ftp://'.$login.':'.$pass.'@'.$server.'/dir[/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY, true); //Вернёт список директорий
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$dirs = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump(explode(PHP_EOL,$dirs));

Checked - works great

Rename directories, or create symlinks with normal paths.
