Sebb commented on NET-474:
--------------------------
Sorry, but unless you can point to documentation that says that leading spaces
are allowed by the FTP protocol, then the bug is in the server, not Commons NET.
I suggest advising them that the server appears to be faulty so they can
contact their supplier to get it fixed.
[By the way, a net search suggests that version 5.0.2 is quite old, and may
have some security issues, so it might be as well to upgrade anyway. That might
well fix the reply format too.]
> Problem, in __getReply method, parsing reply code with leading space

> Key: NET-474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-474
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FTP
> Affects Versions: 3.1
> Environment: UNIX
> Reporter: Ahmad AMIN
> Fix For: 3.2

> Original Estimate: 1h

> FTPClient.getStatus() function call failed complaining about malformed
> response code.
> After tracing the code, I found the problem at following class and line:
> *org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP.__getReply(FTP.java:333)*
> The issue is that this method always expects reply code at position 0 of the
> returned reply string. If the reply string has some leading spaces, it fails
> to parse the reply code and returns malformed reply string.
> Example of such a reply string:
> {noformat}
> 211-nhpssltest Ipswitch FTP Server
> Version 5.0.2
> Connected to 184.70.132.130
> Logged in as massba
> TYPE: ASCII, FORM: Nonprint; STRUcture: File; transfer MODE: STREAM
> No data connection
> 211 End of status
> {noformat}
