Package: netkit-ftp Version: 0.17-18 When I use the ftp client command with option -n for connecting to an FTP server via FTP proxy server the ftp client immediately sends the SYST command to the FTP proxy who cannot answer this request since it isn't connected yet to FTP server.
Transcript: $ ftp -d -n ftp-proxy 2121 Connected to ftp-proxy.example.com 220 Ready ftp: setsockopt: Bad file descriptor ---> SYST 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection ftp> bye My suggestion is to implement a new option "-c" (e.g.) that will suppress the immediate sending of the "SYST" command to the FTP proxy. At least this is the way this problem has been solved in HP-UX 11i. Im am using Debian Lenny with kernel 2.6.26-2-686. -- InterFace AG Telefon: +49 (0)89 / 610 49 - 0 Fax: +49 (0)89 / 610 49 - 85 mobil: +49 (0)171 / 787 76 01 mailto:johannes.schmidt-fisc...@interface-ag.de http://www.InterFace-AG.de InterFace AG Leipziger Str. 16 D-82008 Unterhaching Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c.
