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.
