The server must advertise all ftp protocol extensions it supports in reply to
FEAT command
(and REST is an extension). If it does not, then the server is broken.
You can turn off FEAT command for such a server with this command:
set ftp:use-feat off
OTOH, lftp could try REST anyway, assuming recent enough ftp server with
FEAT command also supports this common extension.
