I've attached a text file that is the result of running "quote STAT . > lftp.out" on a drftpd server.
I would just like to note a few things i noticed while playing with the output: Drftpd seems to always have "total 0" at the top of the list no matter what. This behavior is different from all other servers I have seen, but this happens using both STAT and LIST (which caches properly), so I doubt it is causing the issue. Other servers that I've seen using STAT for list have "status of .:" at the top of the list while drftpd has "Status of .:" (note the capital 's'). I don't know if this could be causing problems with parsing, but I thought I should mention it. Lastly, I found hardly any significant difference between the list output when using STAT vs LIST. A diff of the output from each always results in: 0a1 > 213- Status of .: 7a9 > 213 End of Status This leads me to conclude that the list IS a known UNIX ls format. Unfortunately this makes the problem more difficult to find. > > All others I've tested are properly caching the list for use with tab > > completion.

I no longer believe this to be true because I tried turning off FEAT so lftp didn't detect that PRET was needed, but the problem persisted.
