That's because the the Apache module (as the name says) is an
module to Apache. You can't execute it directly from the
shell, it only works within Apache.
The CGI version on the other side works with stdin,stdout and
stderr in both within an Webserver and so also on the shell.

Two possibilities:
1) The ftp extension is not compiled in, but a module
The CGI version of PHP is using a different (or no)
php.ini and thus hasn't loaded the ftp exetension.
solution:
use dl() or fix your php.ini
2) Your CGI is not compiled with ftp support and it's
compiled in into the apache version, thus it's not available
as a module.
solution 1: compile only the ftp extension, load it as
module (see 1 above)
solution 2: recompile php
HTH, btw, this is the wrong list. You should ask such
question at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
