Ah, found what is happening.
The listing is in a non-standard format.
drwx--x--x 8 1195 8192 Nov 16 16:08 .incoming
d--x--x--x 3 1 96 Jul 23 1997 bin
d--x--x--x 2 1 8192 Mar 1 07:49 lib
[...]
drwxrwxr-x 23 330 8192 Nov 8 10:54 pub
d--x--x--x 2 1 96 Aug 11 1999 usr
-rw-r--r-- 1 1 558 Aug 12 1999 welcome.msg
Note that the group is missing.
A normal listing looks like
drwxr-xr-x 14 dfaure users 4096 Feb 28 19:53 www
There is one more field...
Netscape parses it correctly ? Ok, sounds like I should make
konqueror handle it then :-))
(Usually my position was: this is a bug in the FTP server.
But it seems that there are quite some like this one...)
