Sebb commented on NET-440:
--------------------------
The work-round is to not use auto-detect, but to specify the server type.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to default to any particular OS if the command
fails.
> library throws an exception in case the SYST command is not known or the
> result is not known by the implementation

> Key: NET-440
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-440
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FTP
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Reporter: s
> Priority: Minor
>
> The FTP client uses the SYST command to determine the list output.
> This can fail in two ways:
> - a ParserInitializationException in case the response of the server is not
> known by apache.
> - When the response to SYST command is 502 command unknown (the command is
> optional after all - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt) the client throws an
> IOException.
> Can't it just default to UNIX for these type of ftp servers?
