You didn't give me a reproduction sequence, so I used busybox's ftp

Speaking of which, now that an actual ftp user has shown up: should I
add an ftp server to toybox?
The reason I didn't add an ftp server to toybox already is that ftp
seems to be generally deprecated:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146386
But if there are still users out there, ftp is an easy way to move files
between VMs within a LAN, and having clients without a server is a bit
awkward. Right now ftpget and ftpput can't talk to each other, which is
kinda sad, and even if they could ftpget -l needs an actual server to
list files...
(There's also tftp/tftpd in pending, but that's not really designed to
upload stuff, can't list files, is UDP based... A lot of times I build
dropbear and do scp/ssh but I'm not currently planning to build those
into toybox (out of scope, dropbear works fine.)
