Hello! I sent in bug 48494: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=48494 to Emacs, but I am starting to think this might be an inetutils issue.
I observed that AngeFTP cannot parse the output of the GNU inetutils FTP client on macOS 10.14. It errors out with "FTP Error: OPEN request failed:" and the process buffer shows the following: ftp> open ftp.tcl.tk open ftp.tcl.tk cd / cd / cd / cd / cd / cd / cd / cd / cd / cd / cd / cd / Connected to ftp.tcl.tk. 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection ftp> Not connected. ftp> Not connected. ftp> Not connected. ftp> Not connected. ftp> Not connected. ftp> Not connected. ftp> This appears to be caused by readline being enabled for ftp and is resolved when disabling it. The tnftp documentation suggests that this might be necessary for AngeFTP. Netkit-ftp on Linux does not exhibit this problem even with readline enabled; I could not test GNU inetutils on Linux. I tested tnftp on macOS and it also did not exhibit this problem even with readline enabled. Tested versions: ftp (GNU inetutils) 2.0 macOS 10.14.6 tnftp-20200705 macOS 10.14.6 netkit-ftp 0.17-34.1 Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Is this a known problem? Does this maybe work as intended? Thanks! -- Alex.
