501 is an error message telling you that it could not do the MLSD. any message that starts with 5XX
or 4XX is an error.
From what I could make of the log it looks like the server cannot connect to the client (that is
how the data channel is formed). Is the client behind a firewall?

Hi,
I am developing a basic gridftp server and testing against the Globus
GridFTP GUI.
While I try to download a file from my server (dragging the remote
file to local directory in the GUI panel), the client sends a MLSD
command to server with the file as parameter.
As per RFC 3659, MLSD on file (not directory) should return 501.
In the logoutput for the GUI client I find that the 501 reply is not
what the client was expecting. (I am attaching the logoutputfile for
the session.)

What is expected to be done/returned by the server?
Thanks,
