php file_get_contents FTP

I'm trying to get a file from a public ftp server via file_get_contents.

$url = 'ftp://ftp.server.de/my_file.txt';
echo file_get_contents($url);

I get the following error:

file_get_contents(): connect() failed: No route to host

allow_url_fopen is enabled.

What could be the problem?

It was a firewall issue.

The PHP ftp wrapper uses only passive mode. So all ports have to be open.
