someone has reported that netscape's ftp handling has/had more than 60 different 
internal modes to be uniform accross all ftp servers.  ftp seems to have a lot of 
variations, even in the W3c RFCs, due to the lenght of time it took to get ftp to 
maturity.

just the listing of a directory's contents seems to be a major headache.  searching 
this mailing list, will most propably reveal MANY such discussions (2 or 3 I can 
recall myself).

in any case, do get the latest ftp patch compiled by romano:
