Package: python2.3,python2.4 Version: 2.3.5-3,2.4.1-2 Hi,
python's urllib does the following things "on the line" when retrieving a file by ftp: send(3, "PASV\r\n", 6, 0) = 6 send(3, "NLST ftp-master.debian.org\r\n", 28, 0) = 28 But RFC 959 states: This command [NLST] causes a directory listing to be sent from server to user site. The pathname should specify a directory or other system-specific file group descriptor So, according to the robustness principle, it is wrong that python aborts file transfer if the server refuses to support NLST on files.
