I don't know how to check for certain, but the with gFTP I certainly get a
file listing, and the log shows:
>> (000090)26/01/2012 0:49:34 AM - backup (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)> LIST -aL

BackupPC might not be getting a file listing, and it shows:
>> (000089)26/01/2012 0:45:13 AM - backup (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)> LIST
>> (000089)26/01/2012 0:45:13 AM - backup (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)> 150 Connection
accepted
>> (000089)26/01/2012 0:45:13 AM - backup (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)> 226 Transfer OK
Although, as I said in a previous post, I speculate that that could be due
to the lack of BackupPC sending a "SYST" command, which gFTP did:
>> (000090)26/01/2012 0:49:33 AM - backup (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)> SYST
>> (000090)26/01/2012 0:49:33 AM - backup (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)> 215 UNIX

A fair point. I already have an FTP server running on the clients for
services apart from backups, so the decision is whether or not to install a
second 3rd party service. I'm probably willing to do that, although I'd
prefer to use the existing FTP server.
Moreover, that might not be an option for all users. I do think this bug
is worth sorting out.
