Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Kenneth Loafman (loafman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: ftplib and ProFTPD NLST 226 without 1xx response Initial Comment: When ProFTPD and others do an NLST on an empty directory, they return a '226 Transfer Complete' without a 1xx response following (passive mode). They also may reset the connection, producing a '104, Connection reset by peer'. This patch corrects the 226 without 1xx response. Due to bug reports on ProFTPD indicating that the connection reset may be their issue, this patch does not address that problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: billiejoex (billiejoex) Date: 2007-06-16 00:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1357589 Originator: NO According to RFC959 the returning output of LIST and NLST commands should be sent over the data connection. Avoiding to open data connection and directly responding with "226 Transfer complete" when no transfer has occurred just because directory is empty is a wrong behaviour. The problem, if it really exists (are you really sure? It seems very strange to me), is up to ProFTPd, not ftplib. In case it really exists it is not within the realm of problems that should be dealt with by base ftplib since that it's a non RFC-compliant behaviour occurring with a particular product (ProFTPd).
