Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ftp-ssl

When the ftp-ssl client connects to an ftp server with SSL/TLS only on
the control channel, not the data channel, then only the control channel
works. This is particularly a problem with the pure-ftpd server, which
provides SSL/TLS for only the control channel. It's not a problem if "-z
nossl" is specified - but then it isn't used for the control channel
either. Since it's much more important to secure the control channel
than the data channel; and since many sites prefer not to secure the
data channel due to the encryption overhead, this is an unfortunate bug
- it throws no error. It just doesn't fully work.

This is with 7.10, and ftp-ssl 0.17.12+0.2-6build1
